Wikipedia says:

In philosophy of mind, epiphenomenalism is the view that mental phenomena are epiphenomena in that they can be caused by physical phenomena, but cannot cause physical phenomena.

I'm not sure what to call non-physical things changing the physical world, but it seems the communication you describe, if possible, would be non-physical to physical, right?

You are, of course, correct. :3 I used the wrong term.

Is that because there isn't a right term? I don't know it if there is.
