SUMMARY:Mind-Matter Problem Solved!

DESCRIPTION:<p>There is no mind-matter problem in practice: we go with ease between the material world of things and the mental realm of ideas as we think about things and make things we think of (e.g.\, this abstract).&nbsp\; Here we solve the attendant theoretical problem\, i.e. we present a conceptual repertoire needed to develop a declarative understanding of conscious participation in the practice of everyday life.&nbsp\; We begin with: res extensa vs. res cogitans\, and the corresponding dual: change vs. unity.&nbsp\; Next\, we show how to objectify change\, which accounts for the perceptual objectification of physical contrasts into people\, things\, and their peccadilloes populating our conscious experience.&nbsp\; Change\, in turn\, is natural (or not-a-miracle)\, i.e.\, unity-respecting change.&nbsp\; We find\, in the light of our theory\, that the effectiveness of mathematics---understood as the broad objective logic of qualities resulting from quantitative variations---in the natural sciences\, which include social\, psychological\, biological\, and physical\, is reasonable.&nbsp\; We conclude with an application of our theory: show how artificial intelligence (AI) can advance by bridging across the hitherto insurmountable schism: statistical vs. mathematical.</p>
