The concept of qualia is not a scientific concept in a constructed sense. It's just the semantic pointer to any entity's self-reported data type atomics ... which are completely dependent on the entity's ability to verbalise their own smallest analysable experience.
For example say the smell of strawberries. John says I can't analyse it farther than that it is what it is, and that's all I know. Peter says it's exactly a combination of two other smells, tomatoes and lemons in a 3:2 ratio. Dirk says it's a one dimensional signal that might as well be a sound in my nose.
These are all qualia, to the maximum practical definition of the term.
