Is There a Higher Level Theory of Behaviour?

subjective experience is a concept within an explanatory higher level work that also includes behavior. When i have pain, to say that some one has pain plays a causal role in how i understand the world. As many people have pointed out, if i were a robot that didn't have any conscious experience, and went down to earth from an alien civilization, I would very soon be talking about their interconscious states. And we can talk about it perfectly sensibly as it relates to behavior.
