What we do here :
There are "some things" "out there",
while in our brain there are
representations-1(sensor processing) of those
"some things" due to sensor processing,
then also in our brain there are more
representations-2(self processing) of those
representations-1, this representations-2
due to our need for models of our self,
then there are cultural based folk theories on
those representations-2, epistemologically
referenced in English as "mind". We are now, here,
trying to constructively "represent" all this.
Thus we work on models of models of models.
That is what we do here.
Some prefer a magical interpretation, which is hard to argue
with after the manifest magic of there being "some things"
rather than "no things", but the magical route does not
satisfy the scientific method, so we continue.
When we can put qualia into machines (synthetic structures
with synthetic intelligence), some understanding may be available.
