However, the specifics of the feeling associated with a particular qualia texture are not captured by this.
Moreover, those specifics do not seem to be captured by how it differs from other qualia textures (because those specifics don’t seem to depend much on the set of other qualia textures I might choose to contrast it with; e.g. on what were the prevailing colors recently, or on whether I have mostly been focusing on audio or on olfactory modality recently, or just on reading; none of that seems to noticeably affect my relationship with a particular shade of red or with the smell of the instant coffee I am using).
Right I’m arguing that the specific differences which fully enable the experience of a qualia are unconscious, and must necessarily be outside of consciousness awareness, that’s what I was talking about wrt to the patterns of qualia and their relations necessarily implying an external phenomenal substance which we are not always aware of.
Right. But this is what is common for all qualia.
