David Chalmers relates to physical systems by arguing that mental states supervene on them while remaining ontologically distinct [1], and by asserting that conscious experience is irreducible to these systems [2]. Furthermore, he explores the role of physical systems in consciousness through the Chalmers and McQueen proposal regarding quantum collapse [3] and defines reportability based on the functional organization of physical systems [4].

claimDavid Chalmers defines the explanation of reportability as an explanation of how the relevant function is performed, specifically involving a story about the organization of a physical system that allows it to react to environmental stimulation and produce behavior.
Hard problem of consciousness - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers argues that experience is irreducible to physical systems like the brain because it is conceivable that behaviors associated with feelings, such as hunger, could occur even in the absence of the actual feeling.

claimDavid Chalmers characterizes his philosophical view as "naturalistic dualism," which posits that mental states supervene naturally on physical systems like brains, yet are ontologically distinct from and not reducible to those physical systems.
Non-physicalist Theories of Consciousness cambridge.org 1 fact
claimAccording to the Chalmers and McQueen proposal, when a superposed physical system like a particle or neuron is measured, it becomes entangled with consciousness and subsequently collapses.
