What does tacit mean? The knowledge can not be passed on to others.

You can not explain precisely what you do when cycling. You can tell how to operate the bike, how the gyroscopic effect works when the wheels spin and how you have to help a little with the body to keep the balance in the beginning. But you can not explain the experience of cycling.

The quality of cycling. The qualia.

There are many words for this: experiential competence, know-how, implicit knowledge. I choose to use the word qualia, a key concept in this alternative understanding of the world.

More about qualia will come later, but here is the most important:

We experience the sour in a sour lemon, the quality sour, but it is impossible to pass on this experience to others. Acidity is tacit knowledge, the perception, the experience – which is wordless.

Intuition is thus the same, tacit knowledge, a quality, qualia.

Now, something interesting happened. Did you get it?

Qualia is the experience of knowledge we have from the universal consciousness. But qualia is also the experience of tacit knowledge we get when we cycle, i.e. do as individuals.

The concept of qualia unites the private Ego and the universal consciousness.

Is everything qualia? Our thoughts too? And our consciousness, the experience of being a living human being, that as well?

Now we're getting philosophical here.

My goal further is to unite the subjective, abstract and material in the same theory.

We have just started.
