Sellars and later representationalists show that sensory qualities can be functionally constituted by their causal-relational roles to external stimuli, making non-resemblance insufficient to establish innateness.

Non-resemblance(discussing why sensory qualities might not need to look like what they represent)
The fact that two things don't look alike or share similar properties—for example, the word 'dog' doesn't resemble an actual dog.
Representationalists(as a school of thought about how perception works)
Philosophers who believe that perception works like a mental representation—your brain creates an internal picture or model of the world based on sensory input.
Sellars
Wilfrid Sellars was an influential 20th-century American philosopher who fundamentally changed how we think about knowledge, perception, and meaning. He argued that our scientific understanding of the world and our everyday experiences of it aren't separate things but need to be brought together into one coherent picture. His ideas, particularly about how language relates to reality and how we know things, continue to shape modern philosophy.
Sensory qualities(referring to subjective experiences from sight, touch, taste, etc.)
The basic properties of what you experience through your senses, like the redness of red, the painfulness of pain, or the sweetness of sugar.
