  The mind, being something that exists, must operate under physical principles.

Ooooor... there's something wrong with the question.

Like the question "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"

Maybe, just maybe, there are no angels and maybier, there is no mind?

That's my conclusion.

Big Grin

The mind (and consciousness) isn't a thing - its a process.  The brain is the "thing" that allows this process to happen.  To me, processes are as real as things.
