*Red( or Blue etc): just a set of control inputs perceived and associated
by the brain when "early" in contact with real red ( light with a specific
lenght)
*Our Conscious knowledge of it: the correspondent brain reactions related to
such inputs set.
* SO >>> if you feed the correct brain sensorial connections with the same
signals correspondent to real red >>> we'll think it is real red...( quite
obvious...did anybody here has already simulated any control program ??? )
* NOW >>> add the other collors "inputs" and give "forms" (got that? just
the correspondent input set to each form...) to them >>> we will have a
parallel virtual world...(what for ??? >>> for what we want to...)

(PS: An easy way to "see" it: Supose you're projecting an artificial eye
to a blind person... RED wil be just and associated input signal set ... if
I generate such signals with no real RED present... the blind will swear,
with the feet together, that he is seeing RED...)
