Fine-tuning object 'relationship'

....The claim that there is a real connection between experience and
brain is taken from the idea that the correlation is 'proved' from a
correlation of their activities. But this can't be taken as a 'proof'
that brain causes experience, because the brain activity is defined or
pointed out by experience. Can we pull a logical rule out of this?

1) Only a 'correlation', association, or mapping, can be made between
elements or objects from incommensurable frameworks. In our example,
brain and experience are incommensurable objects because the
frameworks of mind and matter have different rules for the behaviours
of their objects. So only a correlation between the events of each can
be made. We can say only that there is a correlation between mind
events and material events. Mind and matter do not partake in
reciprocal causality.

2) A 'proof' that there is a connection between objects requires that
the objects are not incommensurable but are taken from the same
framework.* So we cannot prove that there is a real connection
between mind and matter. Proofs are always carried out in the
framework of the objects being proved. We cannot then, prove from a
correlation of brain activity and experience a causal relationship
between them.

The logical rule I want to pull out of this is really about fine-
tuning the concept of relationship. Framework disjunctive objects in
'relationship' are mappings or correlations, as is the case for common
framework objects in 'relationship'. However, only relationship of the
latter kind can be 'proven'. A proof establishes a mapping between
objects as their necessary condition. No such condition exists between
objects from incommensurable frameworks, between the objects of brain
and experience, for example.

* ( Note here that a correlation requires no proof. A set also
requires no proof for its element membership, but unlike a correlation
a set, if it is empirically sound, is constructed of commensurable
objects)
