So, qualia are internal variables, and all the problem around them is that they can’t be mapped into external variables in such way that we can learn other’s qualia. I know that you have qualia of red, but you can’t tell me is it the same as my quialia of red.
In computer programs, variables are typically taken from latin alphabet. Knowing the variables X an Y, we could learn something about human alphabet. Qualia are taken from some other “alphabet” about which we don’t know anything currently.
