>which are fundamentally irreducible
Just no, please stop making things up because you feel like it. Trying to say one of the most hotly debated ideals in neuroscience has been decided or even well understood is absolutely insane.
Even then you get into, animals have qualia right? But they are not expressive as human qualia, which means it is reducible.
It's literally part of the definition. Qualia is a well recognized term in neuroscience.
I suspect maybe you haven't done much research into this area? Qualia is pretty well established and has been for a long time.
Animals may have qualia, that's true. Though we can only be sure of our own qualia, because that's all we have access to. Qualia is the constituent parts that make up our subjective conscious experience, the atomized subjective experience, like the color red or the taste of sour.
