QUALIA-
Inflected Form(s): plural qualia
Etymology: Latin, neuter of qualis of what kind
Date: 1675
1 : a property (as redness) considered apart from things having the
property
2 : a property as it is experienced as distinct from any source it might
have in a physical object
Looks like 'experiential qualia' is a tautology, yes?
It's what I _do_ with this 'redness', then, not that I see it- in that I
might view it as sexy, or bombastic, etc. We're accepting a high degree
of inter-subjectivity with perceptions of the objective, (with exceptions
due to mutations), but maintaining there is a distinct internal process
of apperception, with no congruence? My 'red' is not your 'red',
inevitably?
That only seems like some level of a game to me....

cholera cholera, from Greek
