Yes, the logic of the first person knowledge ([]p &p), which is given by a very precise modal logic, known as S4Grz1. That is more the logic of the experienceable, and for the “immediate experience" it is given by the logic of the 5th mode of self-reference ([]p & <>t & p). The axioms and how to use them is given in my paper. I can say more is asked.
