This addresses a foundational philosophical problem for researchers in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing formal methods.
The paper tackles the problem of clarifying the relationship between mind and matter by applying a simple framework based on set theory and category theory, resulting in a formalized approach to inform theories in this domain.
This paper aims to show that a simple framework, utilizing basic formalisms from set theory and category theory, can clarify and inform our theories of the relation between mind and matter.
