If you want to go panpsychic (instead of proto-panpsychic) you can just say “pattern recognition” (stretching the cognition a bit). The “communication” part adds necessity of goals/information, which gets you to aboutness and intention. 1/2

Human C. has nested hierarchical mech’s (forgot “nested” above), including Ruth Millikan’s unitrackers (recognition) and Eliasmith’s semantic pointers (communication medium) to generate various output (feed forward, feedback/prediction, motor action, etc.). BTW, I can point at neuro mechs for these.
