A model of reality: Mind and Qualia

[bahman]

First, what are the definitions of Mind and Qualia: 1) Mind is an irreducible substance with the ability to experience and cause Qualia, 2) Qualia are reducible substances. By irreducible, I mean that it is not subjected to change, destruction, or creation, otherwise the thing is reducible. Here we discussed that anything that coherently changes such as matter is contingent and we need Mind to ensure that coherent change happens. In that thread, I gave the example of a falling apple which is matter that is a sort of Qualia. But this model can explain all systems which are lawful including complicated systems such as the brain. Matter is a sort of Qualia but other examples of Qualia are such as energy, thoughts, feelings, etc.

Let's explain the phenomenon of taste. Suppose you grab an apple and have a bite of it. This releases the chemical inside the apple that interacts with the sensors on your tongue. You immediately experience a sweet taste on your tongue. But we know that the sweet taste is just simulated in the brain and there is no taste on your tongue. All there is on your tongue is electrochemical interaction. A signal is sent from the sensor of your tongue to your brain. The signal is processed by MInd in your brain and the taste of sweetness is created by Mind. The sweetness that is created by Mind of course depends on the processes in your brain that are all lawful too.
