Emergentist Monism, Biological Realism, Operations and Brain-Mind Problem

We would like to thank all the commentators who responded to our target review paper [1] for their thought-provoking ideas and for their initially positive characterization of our theorizing. Our position provoked a broad range of reactions, from enthusiastic support [2-4] to some kind of opposition [5,6]. Regardless of the type of the response, one common factor appears to be the plausibility of a presented attempt to apply insights from physics, biology (neuroscience), and phenomenology of mind to form a unified theoretical framework of Operational Architectonics of brain-mind functioning. Indeed the most unresolved theoretical issue of greatest human significance about which scientists might hope to gain some clarity of understanding is consciousness (the entity that none can easily define, but all know exists [7]), its neural constitutes, and its place and role in physical world.
