Простое Решение Трудной Проблемы Сознания / An Easy Approach to the Hard Problem Of Consciousness
A formal definition of qualia as sensory images formed by evolution long before consciousness allows the Hard Problem of Consciousness to be dissolved: consciousness does not create sensory experience but receives ready-made qualia from sensory memory. This decoupling explains why the same qualia-formation mechanism operates similarly in conscious and non-conscious organisms. The approach also links the Hard Problem to AI grounding, arguing that verbal descriptions alone are insufficient for AI to understand the physical world.
