<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>Yes, there could be profound changes to the qualitative nature of
the part/system. For example, if you take a "part" that includes
my 3 or more components that are required for qualitative
discern-ability (or even just the binding neuron), the part could
have or be detecting inverted subjective qualia, but still make
the same signals to other parts as to whether the two
representations of knowledge are the same or not.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Additionally, If you have a part or binding mechanism that could
be neuro substituted the way Stathis proposes, it would lose the
ability to properly detect qualitative differences, when the
representations of knowledge are inverted, as it would not have
any correlation to the actual qualities of the not glutamate or
not glycene after the substitution.<br>
