This sounds like you mean “the perception of color is a brain state”. Am I missing something?
Again, see my latest comments, on the need to reintroduce at a fundamental level, ontological categories which have been excluded as subjective in order to build the scientific model of the world. I am hinting that, rather than intentionality being an abstraction from a mass of microphysical causal relations, the locus of consciousness is a specific, complex, but microphysically exactly bounded object, whose actual ontology includes intentionality, and for which the standard physical description would be the abstracted one.
That is, in reality the world consists of a causal network of “monads”, some of which have extremely complex intentionality, but most of which are simple and are entirely pre- or non-intentional in their nature; but that the mathematical representation of this ontology is the “Machian quantum geometry” of “coherent tensor factors”. Machian quantum geometry is not a well-defined mathematical concept, it’s a rhetorical construct meant to suggest a quantum geometry based on matter (analogous to Ernst Mach’s ideas). The monads are the “matter”, the “geometry” encodes their immediate causal relations… This is handwaving meant to convey the gist of a way of thinking.
I definitely mean intentionality with a T.
