Psychological predicates are essential for a fulldescription of the world and can't be reducedto predicates about the physical world.

fully compatible with AI

We define things by their properties. Mind is a separatething in as much as it is described differently frommatter, but that doesn't mean it is a separatesubstance.

compatible with both AI and religion, in thatit doesn't exclude any of the otherpossibilities

Anything that involves psychology involves aspecial property of matter, a property that isotherwise not needed for physical processes.

"The stuff that thinks" is adifferent substance from regularmatter.

Human beings are composed both of mentalsubstances ("soul") and of physical substances("body"); the two are linked somehow.

Mental substances have properties thatphysical substances never have, such as theability to behave morally, show compassion,love, etc.
