I don’t think this is what OP meant, and this is not what Buddhists are talking about RE: unified vs discrete conscious experience. It really is about temporality as I originally noted.
As in, are the actual qualia that you experience somehow a single continuous thing, even though they cross multiple sense modalities, and may interleave with complex/compount thoughts? Or are they a sequence of atoms arising that are not a single thing?
I do think embedding spaces are a great concept, but I don’t think they bear on qualia very much.
