Full Idea
It is just arbitrary to choose a level of nature a priori as the locus of qualia, even though we can agree that high levels (such as behaviourism) and low-levels (such as the subatomic) can be ruled out as totally improbable.
Clarification
The 'locus' is the area in which it moves
Gist of Idea
The right 'level' for qualia is uncertain, though top (behaviourism) and bottom (particles) are false

A Reaction
Very good. People scream 'qualia!' whenever the behaviour level or the atomic level are proposed as the locations of the mind, but the suggestion that they are complex, and are spread across many functional levels in the middle sounds good.
