Yes, but you see, even the food we get from the restaurant, is delicious. Why would it be delicious, assuming COMP. How could the primary modalities of things be good or bad assuming COMP? I know most people here think Craig is a hand waver, but I honestly cannot understand how qualia emerge from quantia, including their(meaning, my experiences) magically "emerge" from the many quants that Bruno's idea seems to require.

Emergence is a description of how we think about our models of the world - not something in the world. So Bruno has a theory in which some parts are true but incommunicable. He identifies these with qualia because that is (supposedly) a characteristic of qualia. That's actually how all scientific theories work: you hypothesize a model, including connections to observations and see if it has explanatory and predictive power.

Isn't the the characteristic of "true but incommunicable" math a rather thin premise to suggest that the incommunicability of some truth = the appearance of flavors, colors, sounds, etc?

"true but incommunicable" applies to three hypostases, and thus get three different logics. How do you know in advance that one of them will not throw some light on the qualia problem? Try to answer this without begging the question.

Sometimes, Bruno, I get the feeling as though you are a chef at a restaurant with a wonderful menu, but whenever anyone orders an item on it, all you can do is give them exactly the same picture of the item they ordered from the menu, but never the real thing!!! By the way, I do think your restaurant in terms of philosophical and intellectual satisfaction is one of the best in town!

Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a 30,000 page menu and no food.
