      "How is it that the noema can be both a sense and the intended objectivity itself? Husserl distinguishes three moments in the noema: the thetic characteristic (noematic correlate of the act-quality), the 'noematic' sense (the assimilation of the act-matter into the newly conceived intentional content), and the determined X (the "innermost moment" of the noema).
  2. (philosophy) That which is perceived in the noesis/noema duality
