There's a chapter in brief history of time where a discussion about m theory begins with a comment on relation by duality. Where many theories seem to be describing the same things, as it suggests that some transformation of one theory renders it indistinguishable from another. Materialism as an observation on interactions. Property dualism in general as something like the difference between science and earth science, earth science and life science, etc. Epiphenomenalism an explanation for why we don't have "mental abilities" like telekinesis.
It's not hard to work control theories, property dualism in general, and epiphenomenalism in specific into a single coherent statement about consciousness. We could say that the mind is a model of attention meaningfully unalike straightforward analog processing, isolated in some sense from the exterior world. When I close my eyes and imagine flying - I'm doing something that a rock isn't doing...but..thankfully, because my mind can't actually make me fly, my body won't have to deal with the consequences of losing my concentration at altitude.
