The mental domain is the world
of thoughts and ideas (both of which are mental objects).
Actions exist in the mental domain, such as thinking or planning.
When Norm admonishes Ed to remember that the spell they are
undertaking comes from a much earlier time, the act of
remembering would be a mental one. In addition
to actions and objects, agents exist in the mental world; consider
for instance, simulating the response of a friend to something
you tell them. The simulation is an agent
entity within the mental domain. The idea of consciousness
is another type of mental agent within this domain structure.
