Sounds cool any ideas on how we can test it experimentally? The theory fits with what I have already obsevered about quailia and does technically allow me to make predictions in advance, but all of the ones I can both think of and observe are ones I would have already been able to make based off of prior experience with qualia. There’s a good chance thats just because I have a head ache and am not thinking to clearly, but I would still be interested in hearing if you have any predictions that you would care to make that aren’t already clear from peoples intuitive understanding of qualia/other formal theories.
I can thing of some new predictions regarding what I would expect to see if I directly obsevered the functioning of the human brain more closely than I am actually capable of.

First, welcome to Less Wrong!
That’s a good question, and I haven’t thought deeply enough about what novel predictions this model makes. Anyone else have suggestions?
Ahh, novel predictions, it felt like there should be a more elegant way of saying that.
