### Eh, why? Does everything have the quality of "threeness"? Maybe
there is place in this world for an infinity of qualities, such as
"being the number 3", "being a quark", or "feeling blue". Experience
is just one of an infinity of flavors that parts of reality can have,
and there is no reason to insist that all reality has it. There is
nothing really special about the human qualia, except us being
interested in them. And why wouldn't a syntax have qualia? After all,
a human brain is a formal syntax, a concatenation of symbols (synaptic
spikes, mostly) produced by chemical and electrical processes, so why
not?
