Perhaps, spectrum can invert, so people see short-wavelength light as red and long-wavelength light as blue {inverted spectrum}. Perhaps, phenomena and experiences can be their opposites without affecting moods, emotions, body sensations, perceptions, cognitions, or behaviors. Subject experiences differently, but applies same functions as other people, so subject reactions and initiations are no different than normal. This can start at birth or change through learning and maturation. Perhaps, behavior and perception differences diminish over time by forgetting or adaptation.
representation and phenomena
Seemingly, for inverted spectrum, representations are the same, but inverted phenomena replace phenomena. Functions or physical states remain identical, but qualia differ. If phenomena involve representations, inverted spectra are not metaphysically possible. If phenomena do not involve representations, inverted spectra are metaphysically possible.
inversion can be impossible
Inverted spectra are not necessarily conceptually possible, because they can lead to internal contradictions. Colors do not have exact inversions, because colors mix differently, so no complete and consistent color inversion is possible.
