Can you fully describe every stage?
Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: not simultaneously concisely, in detail, accurately, without looking up neuroscience articles, and without more expenditure of time and effort than I am willing to give it in the forseeable future.
"fully describe" is again a tricky thing to do about ANYTHING. Can you fully describe how your OS works?
The point of the hard problem argument is describability in proinciple: I cna describe how my OS works in principle.
Why would you need to look up neursicence to describe your subjective experience, as introspected by you? If you think "describe your experience" means "describe what happens in your head when you experiene as it appears to someone else, from an objective, 3rd person point of view", natruially you are not going to encounter anything subjective,
Oh, I missunderstood. That's much easier, here, have it in 3 different notations for extra clarity:
""
[]
NULL
Do you have any aesthetic prefernces?
Very much so. I tend to go out of my way to make things look just right, and add an artistic perspective and flare to everything, even things nobody will ever see.
Do you have preferences about colours, tastes and smells?
What colours are appropriate for something depends on context. There are tastes and smells that act as strong punishment and forces avoidance and escape behaviors although I'm not sure I'd call it a preference.
That's funciontality, not aesthetics.
Aesthetics is a subset of functionality, specifically functionality at evoking a specific psychological response.
