This certainly isn't close to explaining the mechanism of qualia, but it's a pretty good step in that direction!

...qualia ? ok, it is this :

In philosophy of mind, qualia (...) are defined as instances of subjective, conscious experience. - -Wikipedia.

That's just the definition of qualia, not an explanation of the mechanism that generates them.

Disappointing I know. Sorry about that. Eventually, science should get there 😌. As written above, the article is a step towards this.
