Basically, it's taking a physical world view but not requiring that "things" underly properties.
However, while this works for physics-- i.e. for explaining the things we can all observe and talk about, it doesn't work for psychogony. Why is it that the exchange of physical particles (verb or noun) results in/requires the subjective awareness of qualia?
