Are 'beliefs in' physical realities the same as experiencing the realism of public physics though? For instance, I believe that if I should avoid driving recklessly in the same way as I would in a driving game as I would in my actual car. Because my belief that the consequences of a real life collision are more severe than a game collision, I would drive more conservatively in real life. That's all ok, but a belief about consequences would not generate realistic qualia. If someone held a gun to my head while I play the racing game, the game would not become any more realistic. I always feel like there is an equivalence between belief and qualia which is being implied here that is not the case. It's along the lines of assuming that a hypnotic state can fully replace reality. If that were the case, of course, everybody would be lining up to get hypnotized.There is some permeability there, but I think it's simplistic to imply that the aggregate of all qualia arises purely from the arbitrary tokenization of beliefs. > > But that's the mathematical (arithmetical) part.

In other words, if we don't presume that universal machine experiences anything, there is no need to invent qualia or experience to justify any mathematical relation. If mathematically all that you need is non-functional, secret kinds of variable labels to represent machine states, I don't see why we should assume they are qualitative. If anything, the unity of arithmetic truth would demand a single sensory channel that constitutes all possible I/O.
