This is preliminary little graphical sketch on how we can understand the assessment of qualia in regards to the construction of Self, Others and Life-world. It accommodates the most relevant concepts of Social Constructivism, Phenomenology, Critical Theory, Grounded Theory, Pragmatism, Participatory Research and Ethnology. I identified the levels of experience, of mental-behavioral modeling and as well as the normative context as the most significant categories of qualia. I am, as always, thankful for critique, comments and additional ideas.
