Attention [experiencer_state]
This frame concerns a Perceiver's state of readiness to process and consider impressions of a Figure within a Ground. It is often unknown to the Perceiver whether or not the Figure exists within the Ground. Alternatively, the Expressor may be expressed as showing signs of the Perceiver's state of attentiveness.
