contents <p>This preprint proposes a multi-layered structure hypothesis of qualia, approaching the hard problem of consciousness from the standpoint of biological survival pressure. Qualia are reframed as the continuous refinement of biological response along the axis: DNA → cellular response → nervous system → instinct → qualia. This paper argues that qualia are a structural necessity of life itself, neither fully private nor neutral sensory data. Constructed through fractal epistemology, this hypothesis is presented as a provisional integration subject to periodic revision.</p>
