Which has been explained to you, explicitly, more than once or twice or even three times. I'll explain it again. Eliminitive materialists contend that some or many of the mental states that most people believe in (including scientists and philosophers of mind) will not or cannot map to a discrete neural state. That they have not, yet, goes without saying...if they did, we'd already have a solid explanation of mind.
In that way, those mental states are illusory. The state of the table as "solid" -does- map to something objectively verifiable and fully within the confines of both what we consider to be solid objects and the underlying material paradigm that explains them. The fact that, regardless of the space between atoms, there's isn't enough space for -us- to pass between them.
You've already been made aware of an eliminitivist theory of mind, multiple drafts...to which you had little to no objection. You're now asking this question as though you hadn't already been made aware, hadn't already discussed it.
