mental continuism

Mental continuism is a philosophical view about the nature of the mind, suggesting that mental states are directly tied to physical brain states. It posits that there is a continuous, causal connection between the brain's physical processes and our thoughts, feelings, and consciousness. In other words, mental events are not separate from or reducible to neurological activity; rather, mental states depend on and emerge from ongoing physical activity in the brain. This view aims to bridge the gap between the mind and brain, emphasizing their ongoing, dynamic relationship without reducing mental phenomena solely to physical parts.
