Subjective experience, of course.

So it seems to prove some creature can feel discomfort or pain, and not just react to stimuli that we humans, projecting ourselfs, liken to discomfort or pain, we need to show the creature can contextualize the stimuli into a mental construct of self.

What evidence would suggest a creature has a mental construct of self into which it can contextualize experience and stimuli?
