Objective, physical objects and events cannot explain subjective, non-physical states and events {explanatory gap}. Perhaps, subjective, non-physical qualities are irreducible. Concepts used for one cannot be concepts used for the other [Levine, 1983] [Levine, 2001].
explanatory-gap analysis
Perhaps, some physical qualities are subjective and irreducible {explanatory gap analysis}. Perhaps, more knowledge will allow physical connections. Perhaps, more knowledge allows physical connections, but people cannot know them. Perhaps, no connection exists, but reason is only phenomenal concepts. For example, phenomenal concepts are only indexes or are special in another way. However, both physical objects and events and non-physical states and events have states and events, so objective and subjective certainly overlap.
