Adjective

Relating to or involving the internal content or meaning of a concept, rather than its external form or expression.
The intensional definition of the term focuses on its inherent meaning rather than its external characteristics.
(Logic, semantics) Of a context, predicate, or expression: sensitive to the mode of presentation or meaning of its terms rather than merely to their extensions; not truth-functional under substitution of co-referential terms.
Belief reports like "Alice believes that the morning star is bright" occur in an intensional context, because the truth of the sentence can change if "morning star" is replaced with "Venus".
