Establish whether each quale is fixed by its totality of phenomenal relations

Establish whether the identity of each narrow quale is fixed by all of its relations to other qualia within the broader experience of which it is a constituent.

Background

The Qualia Structure Paradigm characterizes experiences through their relations to other experiences, drawing on the category-theoretic intuition associated with the Yoneda lemma. The proposed inference framework depends on the conjecture that preserving these relations preserves the identity of the corresponding quale. If correct, structural correspondences could constrain how one mind’s experiences are related to another’s, although the paper does not establish this conjecture.
