I would put "Horganism" another way.
Science tells stories/theories, and some are successful in their
application. But we don't know if any of the stories are the final
ones to be told, or even close to being final. (They probably are
not.) There is no settled story of gravity yet, much less
consciousness. One reads about a new story of gravity in science news
every week, it seems.
David Chalmers' conclusion is ...
"I think that the Hegelian [dialectical] argument gives good reason to
take both panpsychism and panprotopsychism very seriously. If we can
find a reasonable solution to the combination problem for either, this
view would immediately become the most promising solution to the
mind–body problem. So the combination problem deserves serious and
sustained attention."

Zero predictive power and it's not clear that it's consistent with the
rest of neurophysics.
