Of course. It appears from all scientific evidence that phenomenal
experiences are completely dependent upon physical processes. But
this does *not* establish that phenomenal experiences are *identical*
to physical processes. From the fact that phenomenal experiences
supervene upon physical processes, it does not follow that one is
reducible to the other.
I repeat:
(1) Phenomenal properties are mathematical properties. Mathematical
properties are not human fictions, but are objectively real things,
since they are indispensable for our explaantions of reality.
*Mathematical properties are about meaningful patterns (knowledge).
*Physical properties are about energy transfers.
*They are correlated but they're not the same thing. They're as
different as milk and water. And any-one who can't see this is
blind.
