The point is that "what we call the Moon" IS the Moon.
IMO - both points of view, are valid though. You are correctly
equating the definition or label of the moon with the qualia - i.e.
the moon experience.
He was assuming we were awake. In my dreams, what I call the moon a
planet made of cheese. Is *that* the moon?
It seems to me that Bruno was describing a hypothesized means by
which that which "we call the moon" becomes manifest as the qualia
we experience. That this qualia emerges through a dynamic
computational process.
Well, hopefully for computationalism.
