Qualia has a shape
Has a form
Has a fluid form
Has a dynamic fluid form



If qualia ~is~ perceived as the dynamic fluid form of experience

Then

The shape of qualia

~is~ the form of sensation

~is~ the idea of impression

~is~ the figure of awareness

~is~ the outline of feeling

~is~ the character of wakefulness

Qualia, the essence of metamorphosis, defining the quasi-stable, multidimensional, fractal infrastructure of consciousness

"Qualia" (singular, "quale") is a term introduced by C. I. Lewis (1929, p. 121) to stand for "recognizable qualitative characters of the given". Lewis’s examples were red, blue, round, and loud. Although the predicates for these qualia are also used to denote properties of physical objects, Lewis was explicit that properties of physical objects are not qualia: qualia are properties only of the given.
