First define what a mind is. You are the one suggesting that one exists and is separate from the brain. The burden of proof is on you.

Two words you may want to look up though:

Emergent phenomena.

If you want to define that which is subjective purely in terms of that which is objective, then you are welcome to.  You are also welcome to define black as white.

So you are effectively saying that anything that is subjective is not measurable. That is not scientific and is therefore woo. I shall ignore the rest of the vague  word salad laden with baggage and unfounded assumptions.
