What Are Consciousness, Animacy, Mental Activity and the Like?

Exploring the intersection of psychology and physics, the author presents a novel approach to understanding mental phenomena through the lens of heat engine models. By challenging traditional notions of existence, he posits that ideal physical objects can possess real status. This perspective leads to a unique interpretation of mental phenomenology as a reflection of these ideal entities. The book also outlines key psychophysical laws and introduces the Just Intonation set of musical intervals, offering a fresh viewpoint on the relationship between mind and reality.
