The new physics is anything but mechanistic. Probably just semantics on your part, but your choice of words can guide how you think about things. =-)
I don't know about "not yet understood." That implies you are adding decimal places to our current model of reality. I'm suggesting that every so often the entire model changes to cope with phenomena that the old model either 1) took for granted, 2) dismissed as irrelevant, or 3) cannot incorporate. All three apply to the current model of physical reality as it relates to the hard problem of consciousness.
