Assumed? Each and every time it's been tried a change in
neuronal activity results in a reported change in mental state,
and a change in mental state results in a change in neuronal
activity. What more proof do you require to conclude that one
causes the other? What more proof could there be?
That is based on the 1-1 link, but that solves only a part of the
problem, as the mind-brain link cannot be 1-1, but is 1-many. To one
mind, you need to attach it to all states brought by the infinitely
many computations. Then the appearance of brains emerges from the
statistics on all computation. That explains Everett QM without any
ontological commitment.
Wat you call proof here is an hypothesis based on Aristotle theology,
which has been shown non sustainable with the digital mechanist thesis.
