An interesting thought (that I think you and I find some common ground on), our brains or minds are largely in some form of actual or philosophical isolation. Our brains may not be using the same "code" after all this time spent alone. It may be that without layers and layers of interpretation...such as spoken words, facial expressions, and body language....the exact experience of a system even slightly unlike yourself, fundamentally, is non-communicable.
The experience of the "other" sends a five digit command line when the users experience calls for six. What to do? My guess, approximate.
Yes, and this isn't really even worldview dependent. A brain in a jar, for example, could still be functioning in a purely material universe. Or in an idealism, you can be so separated from the universe of ideas that it serves as objective-- not in the sense that you're right about physicality, but in the sense that there are things which are external to you, and whose existence is persistent.
