"The goal is to clarify the ambiguity between a perception as an experience and perception as a neural process" — This is true only if it is the case that consciousness occurs only in the presence of a brain or nervous system.

@DanielAsimov mmm, I think what I'm trying to get at is, the goal of having distinct words is to be able to clearly talk about cases like that. That way we can say "there are things that have qualia, have a what-it-is-to-be-them, despite not having neural processes."
