Consciousness and the physical domain are related through philosophical debates regarding their causal interaction and ontological status, as seen in dual-aspect theories [1], the problem of causal closure [2], [3], and the parallelist perspective [4]. Furthermore, theories of consciousness often define the mental realm in relation to the physical realm as either a fundamental property [5] or a non-supervenient entity [3].

quote“The paradox is a consequence of the facts that (1) The physical domain is causally closed; (2) Judgments about consciousness are logically supervenient on the physical; (3) Consciousness is not logically supervenient on the physical; and (4) We know we are conscious. From (1) and (2) it follows that judgments about consciousness can be reductively explained. In combination with (3), this implies that consciousness is explanatorily irrelevant to our judgments, which lies in tension with (4). Thus we have the paradox. One might try to escape the paradox by denying any one of these premises”
claimDavid Chalmers' notion of a 'naturalist' theory of consciousness presumes that consciousness represents a fundamental property with an ontic status of its own, in addition to the physical realm.

claimThe parallelist perspective on consciousness preserves both the physical and mental realms intact but denies any causal interaction between them.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimDual-aspect quantum approaches to consciousness conceptualize mind-matter correlations as the splitting of a holistic, psychophysically neutral domain of reality into mental and physical aspects, inspired by entanglement-induced nonlocal correlations.
Moving Forward on the Problem of Consciousness - David Chalmers consc.net 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers posits that if the physical domain is causally closed (meaning every physical event has a physical explanation) and consciousness is non-physical, it appears there is no room for consciousness to play a causal role.
