My eccentricity lies in proposing a model where mental states can be fundamental causes and not just derived causes, because the conscious mind is a single fundamental entity - a complex one, that in current language we might call an entangled quantum system in an algebraically very distinctive state, but still a single entity, in a way that a pile of unentangled atoms would not be.

So you're taking the existing causal graph, drawing a box around all the interactions that happen inside a brain, and saying that everything inside the box counts as one thing.

That's not simplification, it's just bad accountancy.
