Short Abstract: Let the qualitative agential profile of a thought be the strongest qualitative intrinsic property of the system consisting of the thought and the agent who thinks it. Thus, e.g., the qualitative agential profile of the thought you express by ‘Water is wet’ is the same as that of the corresponding thought your doppelganger on Twin Earth expresses by the same (or sound-alike) words.
