Which is how and why they miss the metaphysical puzzle. > They seek theories to explain phenomena. But with mechanism, they explanation is just not working at all, as they need to correlate the mind with the observation, and the UDA shows this cannot be done through any form of ontological commitment and mind/ontology identity thesis. > They don't start by assuming some metaphysics. When they do physics. As ia her said many times, there is no problem with physics, only with physicalism. > They only care that the theory works. That's why it has been physicists like > Wheeler, Tegmark, Hawking,...who have wondered why equations work at all. That why question lead to the abandon of physicalism in case we assume mechanism. That is the point.
