No. We might one day write an algorithm to generate a structure that we hope is nearly isomorphic to "a person experiences wetness" X is isomorphic to Y is a long away from X is Y. (And, we are not yet close to that maybe-hopefully-nearly an isomorphism?)

I might have written that wrong. Possibly it should have read: (X is isomorphic to Y) AND (Y is real) DoesNotImply=> X is real AlsoDoesNotImply=>X is anything like Y whether for gravity or consciousness. (tho I'm still thinking about yr point that few ppl undersand gravity)
