The point is that "what we call the Moon"  IS the Moon.

 

IMO - both points of view, are valid though. You are correctly equating the
definition or label of the moon with the qualia - i.e. the moon experience.
It seems to me that Bruno was describing a hypothesized means by which that
which "we call the moon" becomes manifest as the qualia we experience. That
this qualia emerges through a dynamic computational process.
