Intentionality

Intentionality - Requires 'shared' representations - some 'language' of representational elements that are common to, mutually reinforce/constrain (and perhaps can be exchanged between) different 'cognitive systems' - the cognitive systems of different agents or individuals. It is this shared 'representational space' that grounds the 'objectivity' of the content within an 'epistemic or intentional community', and which is the basis for an awareness of different 'perspectives' (from different individuals) on that objective field or frame.

Notion of 'interpenetrability' of representations through different (agent's) cognitive systems. In imitation learning, for instance, more abstract 'program-level' action representations may be copied / exchanged between individuals. Perhaps also the following: a subordinate chimpanzee's goal directed actions may fit within a dominant chimp's goal directed action plans? We certainly see this in humans.

This can be seen in terms of the group as a whole having a self-regulating cognitive system based on shared 'intentional' representations and rules. This system - perhaps mediated by mirror neurons as a part of a more distributed frontal-parietal 'executive system' may have been 'group selected' in evolution (vs individual level selection).
