Inverted Earth

Planets {Inverted Earth} {inverted qualia} can have complementary colors of Earth things [Block, 1990]. For same things, its people experience complementary color compared to Earth-people color experience. However, Inverted-Earth people call what they see complementary color names rather than Earth color names, because their vocabulary is different. When seeing tree leaves, Inverted-Earth people see magenta and say green.

If Earth people go to Inverted Earth and wear inverting-color lenses, they see same colors as on Earth and call colors same names as on Earth. When seeing tree leaves, they see green and call them green, because they use Earth language.

If Earth people go to Inverted Earth and do not wear inverting-color lenses, they see complementary colors rather than Earth colors and call them Earth names for complementary colors. However, if they stay there, they learn to use Inverted-Earth language and call complementary colors Inverted-Earth names, though phenomena remain unchanged. When seeing tree leaves, they see magenta and say green. Intentions change though objects remain the same. Therefore, phenomena are not representations.

problems

Intentions probably do not change, because situation requires no adaptations. The representation is fundamentally the same.

Perhaps, qualia do change.
