Did you typo there? Did you mean to say "nominal"?
And if so, what do you mean by "nominal" (or "nomenal" or whatever you meant to type)?
I think he meant "noumenal"... I had to look that one up myself; as in 'a thing in itself'....as in what exists beyond our senses. Regardless of the context in this thread, it seemed a pretty good/apt description useful for the other thread about consciousness, inasmuch as trying to define what it is and what it is not. Not wanting to go off topic here in this thread though, so just saying.
Ah! Like Kant's "noumenal self" that explains free will. That's gotta be it.
