- Is it? Not for me.
  
  I'm not sure, but it looks like a "non-subscribers get 5 free articles a month" sort-of thing. Maybe you still have some articles left. Hell, it could just be a regional thing

This certainly isn't close to explaining the mechanism of qualia, but it's a pretty good step in that direction!
- ...qualia ? ok, it is this :
  In philosophy of mind, qualia (...) are defined as instances of subjective, conscious experience. - -Wikipedia.
  
  That's just the definition of qualia, not an explanation of the mechanism that generates them.
