 Another representationalist view about phenomenal character is combined with the New Knowledge/Old Fact View in Lycan (1990a) and (1996). Lycan’s account of Mary’s epistemic progress can be put, roughly, like this: Only after release Mary can form “introspective second order representations” of her own color experiences. One may think of an introspective representation as of “a token in one of the subject’s languages of thought, his or her Introspectorese”. It has often been said that what Mary learns is in some sense “ineffable”, that it cannot be communicated in public language. Lycan is led to a similar conclusion within his computational theory. In his view, when Mary finally has an experience of blue she “tokens a semantically primitive mental word for the type of first-order state being inwardly sensed”, where this word in Mary’s language of thought has an “inferential and/or conceptual role” that is “unique to its subject, in that no other subject could deploy a functionally similar representation whose designatum was that (the subject’s) very same first-order state-token, ….” And he concludes that “the introspective word would certainly not be synonymous with any primitive or composite expression of public English,…” (Lycan 1996, 101).
