Qualia cannot be shown to exist in any physical system without a question-begging redefinition of the word into physical terms. It is not customary to explain why or how things exist until it can be demonstrated that they do in fact exist-- as "an intrinsic property of certain psychological relations" or otherwise.
If only there were a word for something we are sure (in our heart of hearts!) is real despite having no way to produce evidence of its reality, particularly when it comes to the existential nature of a human being. . .
