Panpsychism is fundamentally defined by its relationship to the mental, as it posits that causal powers are inherently mental or protomental [1] and explores the complementary nature of the mental and physical [2]. Furthermore, historical theories like William James's neutral monism frame panpsychism by contrasting the mental with the physical as different viewpoints of a single reality [3], [4].
