That's according to John's definition thereof. The rest of us do not
necessarily agree with such a limited view. At this stage, it cannot be
absolutely stated what qualia is. For example, mine is a lot more fuzzy and
abstract in terms of autonomous, identifier signalling . And that is but
John answered the question. Qualia = sensory input compressed for
communication. A thermostat has qualia because it compresses its input to
one bit (too hot/too cold) and communicates it to the heater.
