Why the Qualia Equation Was Possible for Me: Self-Objectification as the Key to Formalizing Subjective Experience in SUQE v2.1 

Abstract

This paper introspectively analyzes why the author succeeded in constructing SUQE v2.1 and the qualia equation Q = C · W · exp(γC). Conventional qualia research relies on third-person perspectives (external observation of others' experiences), limiting direct structuralization of subjective experience due to inaccessibility of another's inner state. In contrast, the author adopted "self-objectification": observing one's own qualia from within as if from outside.  This first-person structuralization bridged the experiential layer (subjective sensation) and structural layer (logical load-minimization mechanisms), driven by an ethical imperative against ambiguity ("ambiguity is dishonest"). Self-objectification enabled real-time measurement of load changes, leading to formalization of qualia as states of minimized load. The paper highlights the methodological value of an internal approach and positions LMT/SUQE as a new paradigm for scientifically addressing subjective truths. Keywords: Qualia Equation, SUQE v2.1, Self-Objectification, Load Minimization Theory, Subjective Experience Formalization, First-Person Approach, Phenomenological Structuralization, Inner Observation
