Physics is related to intrinsic properties because it describes the extrinsic, relational aspects of reality while failing to account for the intrinsic properties that ground these relations {fact:4, fact:6}. Philosophers like David Chalmers argue that for physics to avoid being a mere causal flux, it must correspond to underlying intrinsic properties {fact:1, fact:5}.

claimConsciousness shares similarities with the intrinsic properties of physics, specifically that it cannot be directly observed from an outside perspective and it grounds observable extrinsic properties.
perspectiveDavid Chalmers argues that extrinsic properties of physics must have corresponding intrinsic properties because otherwise the universe would be "a giant causal flux" with nothing for "causation to relate," which he considers a logical impossibility.
claimDavid Chalmers views consciousness as a candidate for the intrinsic properties that correspond to the extrinsic properties of physics.
claimPhysics describes the extrinsic properties of matter but does not describe the intrinsic properties that ground those extrinsic properties.

claimAccording to dual-aspect monism, physics describes reality from the outside by detailing relations between things, such as causal and spatiotemporal relations, but it does not describe the intrinsic properties of the things themselves.
claimDual-aspect monism asserts that there must be an entity that stands in the relations described by physics and possesses intrinsic or categorical properties.
