Physics and the universe are linked through the foundational role of mathematics in describing the cosmos [1], the application of physical conservation principles to the universe as a whole [2], and the philosophical argument that the universe requires intrinsic properties to ground the causal flux described by physics [3].

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.

claimRobins Collins (2011) claims that the appeal to energy conservation by opponents of interactionism is a red herring because conservation principles are not ubiquitous in physics, noting that energy is not conserved in general relativity, quantum theory, or the universe as a whole.
