The qualia frame is that of considering every content of consciousness as a feeling, even, or especially when that content presents itself as something distinct from feeling, such as a perception or a logical proposition. Indeed, as feeling devoid of ideal or relational aspects, pure self enclosed feeling. (The mind of a poet might justapose many heterogenous matters, but never as qualia, but always according to its naive presentification, unsevered from its context.) With respect to prehension or intentionality, qualia are the terminal objects of networks of relation. That is why there is some sense in saying that conscious content is made of qualia, ('X is conscious if there is something that is what it feels like to be X') and also why it is wrong to do so.
