still have one entity having one set of qualia. At least that's what
I'm trying to work out.
My clumsy first pass at this is 2C Mary. I hope I get better at it!

Hi
Been lurking a few weeks, feeling a little overwhelmed by how much more
everyone seems educated on the topic than I've managed to absorb through
my own casual readings. Internet geek, psychonaut from South Africa, no
formal education. :-)

Just a note. Think of a brain more than just an intake valve, reacting to
similar stuff, and not so similar stuff. There are so many things we need to
take into consideration. Genetics. We are born with a specific preprogramed
set of organization and hardware. the way the neurons are
. To see where it
leads. I really don't know if it's well trodden ground or not.
The second part is 2C Mary. This is a small thought experiment
designed to illustrate as simply as I can the possibility for a
mechanism for access to apparently physics-violating phenomena. Those
interested
and
for a connection between soul and hardware. Any thoughts on this?

The real question is the ontological status of the 'nothing' in that
last sentence. I am starting to believe that the true nature of the
'fundamental' beneath qualia is not only about the 'stuff', but is
actually about all of it. That is, the 'stuff' and the 'not stuff'.
So.

Once again I find myself fossicking at the boundaries and need to ask
one of those questions. My first experience with an asker of such a
