Then you're not a materialist. You think there is matter plus
something else, that everyone calls "mind", but you're going to
call it "matter" and add it to everyone else's list of matter so
you can still call yourself a materialist.

But everything reducing to the physics of particles is thought of as
*physicalism* (not materialism):
*Physicalism and materialism*
Reductive physicalism
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_physicalism>...is normally
assumed to be incompatible with panpsychism. Materialism
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialism>, if held to be distinct
from physicalism, is compatible with panpsychism insofar as mental
properties
What mental properties? intention? reflection? remembering? That's
what I mean by saying attributing "experience" to matter is an
unprincipled half-measure.
