Excellent article. Walking through the scenario with these toy graph-based conscious entities substituted for the humans is a good first step that is likely to help with other conundrums like this.
So if this is what qualia are, any simulated human-like being that has both conscious and nontrivial unconscious processing has qualia, right?
It seems to me, right now, that it's also essential to have an agent which searches only the conscious graph for some purpose, in order to have something analogous to our qualia. I think I can imagine a mind that has a conscious/unconscious distinction but not that feature.
