• Abstract: After centuries of research, how subjective experience relates to physical phenomena remains unclear. Recent strategies attempt to identify the physical correlates of experience. Less studied is how scientists eliminate the "spurious" aspects of their subjective experience to establish an "objective" science. Here we model scientists doing science. This entails a dynamics formally analogous to quantum dynamics. The analogue of Planck's constant is related to the process of observation. This reverse-engineering of science suggests that some "non-spurious" aspects of experience remain: embodiment and the mere capacity to observe from an intrinsic perspective. A relational view emerges: every experience has a physical correlate and every physical phenomenon is an experience for "someone". This may help bridge the explanatory gap and hints at non-dual modes of experience.

  This paper addresses the challenge of inferring hidden physical properties from objects' motion and interactions. We evaluate state-of-the-art video reasoning models on ComPhy and reveal their limited ability to capture these hidden properties. We also propose a novel neuro-symbolic framework, Physical Concept Reasoner (PCR), that learns and reasons about both visible and hidden physical properties.

  We will argue that a phenomenological analysis of consciousness, similar to that of Husserl, shows that the effects of phenomenal qualities shape our perception of the world. It also shows the way the physical and mathematical sciences operate, allowing us to accurately describe the observed regularities in terms of communicable mathematical laws.

  The compositionality between the visible and hidden properties poses unique challenges for AI models to reason from the physical world. Existing studies on video reasoning mainly focus on visually observable elements such as object appearance, movement, and contact interaction. We propose an oracle neural-symbolic framework named Compositional Physics Learner (CPL), combining visual perception, physical property learning, dynamic prediction, and symbolic execution.

  This paper makes a first step towards a logic of learning from experiments. Crucial for our approach is the idea that the notion of an intervention can be used as a formal expression of a (real or hypothetical) experiment. For all the proposed logical systems, we provide a sound and complete axiomatization.
