Perhaps, Andrey, everything is up to the will of the Possible. In our theomism, according to the theory of potentiality, the approach to the question of qualia is as potential as the theory of potentiality itself: qualia is the ontological possibility of qualia, eternal potency. On a subjective level, this eternal potency corresponds to the eternal hypothesis of qualia. Accordingly, the answer to your hypothetical question about a certain hypothetical alien is as hypothetical (subjectively) and potential (~objectively) as you yourself, Andrey Terletsky, i.e. the ontological possibility of Andrey Terletsky: ~ Andrey Terletsky.
