I like it so far! One question, though:
Are you referring the question of how to model a mind that would have analogous reactions to:
I assume the first, but I couldn't tell. In any case, both are worthwhile targets for reduction.
Edit: I had previous sketched out a reduction of qualia, but it seems more focused on the first issue -- why we have the intuition that our sensory impressions are so ineffable.
I actually mean the second question; let me see if I can make that less ambiguous in the post. The first is important too, and will come up by the end.
And thanks!
UPDATE: Edited the paragraph slightly.
