qualia
is "an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us."
"The 'what it is like' character of mental states. The way it feels to have mental states such as pain, seeing red, smelling a rose, etc'"
redness is the canonical qualia. there is no way to actually describe what red looks like.
