I think that there was a miscommunication here. To be strictly correct, Mitchell should have written "Which implies an inverse mapping from ontologically definite states of consciousness, to sets of exact microphysical states...". His additional text makes it clear that he's talking about a map f sending every qualia state q to a set f(q) of brain states, namely, the set of brain states b such that being in brain state b implies experiencing qualia state q. This is consistent with the ordering B>Q>P that you expect.
