I'm not aware of LW mentioning "subjective experience" anywhere but then I've 
only read the TLP and the PI. If he does then I'd appreciate the reference.

Just as there is a conceptual host organism associated with the "visual room", 
so it is assumed that there is a "visual room" associated with any other person 
within this room. But nothing would be any different if that assumption were 
wrong. It has no application.
