[ExI] What is "Elemental Redness"?

[Brent Allsop]

Yay, Will's got it!!
Thanks Will.  I'm glad at least one person can understand what I've been
trying to figure out how to say,since back in the 90s.
Coming up with the model of how qualia might work was the easy part.
Learning how to communicate it to everyone is a gazillion times harder.

So does that mean you would agree with a definition of consciousness to be
something like "computationally bound elemental qualities?"

Could you concisely describe your model of consciousness, or the way you
think about it?
