Put consciousness in the intrinsic-nature hole

The genius of the Russell-Eddington approach is to unify two seemingly unrelated problems—the problem of consciousness (finding a place for consciousness) and the problem of intrinsic natures (a hole in physical science)—by putting consciousness in the hole: physical reality's intrinsic nature is constituted of forms of consciousness, yielding a panpsychism with nothing spiritual or supernatural that is fully consistent with everything we know empirically.

Evidence Quote

physical reality can be described as it were from two perspectives. Physical science describes it as it were from the outside... but as it were from the inside its intrinsic nature is constituted of forms of consciousness
