Must it be logically impossible to access the state objectively, for example?

No. But introspectability if far too weak a standard. I can introspect thoughts that are possible to communicate objectively.

I have already listed another condition besides introspectability:

internal states which are intimately involved in, but not informationally exhausted by, cognition of the external world.

We could easily add conditions or clarifications. For example, let "external world" or "objective access" be specified as what other humans can detect with unaided senses.
