- The final constituents are energy particulars that are not corpuscular,
-
but compose a double sided or dipole 'matter-mind', (the
psychophysical constituents), which is responsible for the appearance
of dispositions and intentionality.
2- Postulates of the vertical inter-levels relations
Eliminating the postulate of complete reduction as proven to be inconsistent with
contemporary scientific facts (the failure of reducing the mental, and the failure
of the grand unifying theory), then we have the following:
- Partial reduction between only two successive levels (supervenience
in the week sense), based on disposition, governed by inter-level
vertical laws.
- Holism, upper level affects lower level (downward causation), based
-
on the psycho-physical constituents, governed by inter-levels vertical
laws.
3- Postulates of the horizontal causal relations
Eliminating the postulate of determinism as well as non scientific teleology
(i.e., that which is not linked to functionalism or human intentionality) as in
contradiction with contemporary scientific facts, we have the following:
- Probabilistic causal indeterminism (including self-organizing systems),
based on dispositions endowed to the final constituents.
- Probabilistic mental causation (including intentionality), which is based
on the psycho-physical properties
Hence, instead of the indivisible atoms that represent all levels of nature through
reduction and interact through Newtonian laws, we have a new picture. That is a
