And so are qualia. The only difference is that the science haven’t yet provided a useful reduction.
The other difference is that Qualia are subjective.
But laws of physics still don’t say how you should reduce things. And reductions doesn’t preserve everything—fire can look continuous, but actually consist of atoms.
Lossy reductions don’t preserve everything.
No it comes from the observationthat our sensorium is not a picture of our brains?
You can also observe that fire is not a picture of atoms.
Fire is a picture of atoms. As you zoom into it in ever more detail, you end up with individual atoms emitting photons.
Again, there is no reason to directly identify qualia with microphysical properties.
The other difference is that Qualia are subjective.
Lossy reductions don’t preserve everything.
Fire is a picture of atoms. As you zoom into it in ever more detail, you end up with individual atoms emitting photons.
Some sort of explanation is needed.
