OR’s theory is that experience, qualia, are not generated by the brain, but constituted by interaction in the world. While it looks like it’s “interaction” that’s doing the explanatory work here, I have the feeling it’s “constituted”: and so why can’t we say that experience is “constituted” by brain states? Well, because brain states don’t “generate” experience the way the world does.
