Depending on how you slice it, we have ~8 sensory systems: —Vision —Hearing —Touch —Taste —Smell —Vestibular (balance) —Interoception (internal organs) —Propriocetion (joints/muscles) Idea: modeling introspection as a 9th “sensory system” Is this stupid? Profound? Fruitful?

When it comes to "I want to watch tv", much of the time it just happens, you do it without reflecting on that desire. Noticing that desire is noticing your actual movement towards watching tv, or your propensity to do so, which shows up in eg muscle tone
Yes, most of the time we just do things without reflecting on them. But I have in mind something in the direction of attention schema theory, in which the key thing that needs to be explained is the ability to make verbal reports about mental states.

What do you mean by mental states? Does this include "I see a tree"? Or just "internal" stuff like "I have Chopin's funeral March stuck in my head" or "I want to watch tv"?

All of the above, I think?
