Brent, in your simplified hypothetical you say that in the perception
process the
neurotransmitter Glutamate behaves the way it does because of its REDNESS
quality. But that can't be right, not even theoretically. There may be a
long causal chain between the two but Glutamate would behave the way it
does because of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 650nm;
that's what powered the molecule to do whatever its does not REDNESS.
