phainomechanics, qualia, & quantification

Phainomechanics. I may start using this word to talk about physical mechanics in phenomenology.

Synesthesia. Mysterious, perhaps. Inexplicable? Absolutely not - it may seem odd that a 1D signal like sound translates into a 2D signal like vision. But hold on ... vision is a 2D phainomechanical process on an intrinsically 1D signal. Essentially we animals hallucinate colour as a matter of convention : the three (or four colour) receptors we have, are discretising samplers of a continuous EMF spectrum.

Imagine if sound was discretised in such a way. Not hard at all, with a bit of practical thought. Imagine if smells, pressure, vibration, heat, and pain were too. Actually we do not really need to imagine ... we simply have many of these discretisations, already.

All human qualia are hallucinations from a physical point of view. The intrinsic nature of qualia are therefore most practically characterised as data types / data structures, in an information system.
