I still have a problem with your insinuation that what you call the "This Experience" would be called "the material world" by a default materialist. From what you say, it appears to be something else since your definition alludes to experienceL:You're real close. You're right. A default materialist might call This Experience "a brain image" or "a subjective experience" or a "qualia world" or something else. But those are loaded phrases that come right out of the materialist dictionary. We need a neutral phrase. That's why I use This Experience. To me it's also very important that it's something the average non-philosopher can relate to. Also, by using a new phrase, it carries along with it the idea that I'm trying to get at something different from the materialist-idealist debate. Not even close.

That representation could be made out of™ anything, it could be achieved in any, unspecified way. We -know- that thw experence is not "the material world." in that sense That the red ball of the material world is too big, for example, to fit in your head, even if the red ball of mind isn't.
