a verb aspect--what's it called?

I've jotted down some notes for Meep, though it'll probably be developed
very slowly, and I came across a problem in how I want the verbs.

I was hoping to have 3 aspects, no tenses-per-se, for verbs:

contemplative (ad hoc name): an action that hasn't begun or is being
  considered, or wished, or wondered about--something that hasn't
  actually happened
progressive: an action that's happening or in progress
completive: an action that's been completed and tied off

(Well, I guess the use of "is happening," etc. is deceptive.
Theoretically I'd like these to be useable in past, present or future.
Meep isn't intended to be a practical artlang, just whimsical.)

I tried looking up a website article on aspects:
http://www.rick.harrison.net/langlab/aspect.html

which is great in that it has a lot of neat examples (a number of which I
stole for Chevraqis), but couldn't find anything that corresponds to
"contemplative" (I thought it might be inchoative, but it seems not).
Does anyone know of an existing name for this sort of aspect, or should I
just stick with the ad hoc "contemplative"?

YHL, wishing she could pick up Comrie's _Aspect_, except she's *frozen*
book acquisitions, darnit!
