The view that there are phenomena that run parallel to the physical—alongside it, [interacting] with it, but not reducible to physical explanation. Paraphysicalism suggests that consciousness, for example, may be paraphysical: correlated with brain activity but not identical to it, [interacting] with the physical without being physical. Similarly, [information], meaning, and perhaps even some paranormal phenomena may be paraphysical: real, causal, and parallel to the physical world without being part of it. It's the position that the physical is not the whole story, but what lies beyond may be parallel rather than superior—another layer, another dimension, another order of reality entirely.
