The Reducibility of the Brain

I think we really don't know enough about the brain to know whether it's all reducible to underlying chemistry and physics, or the behavior of the brain. I would just say that particles have basic combinatorial capacities which dispose them in certain circumstances to combine into conscious systems. For my kind of panpsychist, we would explain that in terms of the basic combinatorsial capacities of conscious particles. That is just a basic capacity they have, and then it's going to be a scientific task,. not a task for philosophers that are in armchairs.
