This article presents an operationalized solution to the mind-body problemwhich relies on rigorously defined theoretical reasoning rather thanphilosophical argument. We identify a specific operation which is a necessaryproperty of all healthy human conscious individuals -- specifically theoperation of self-certainty, or the capacity of healthy conscious humans to"know" with certainty that they are conscious. This operation is shown to beinconsistent with the properties possible in any meaningful definition of aphysical system. This inconsistency is demonstrated by proving a "no-go"theorem for any physical system capable of human logical reasoning, if thisreasoning is required to be both sound and consistent. The proof of thistheorem is both general -- it applies to any function whereby evidence affectsthe state of some physical system -- and recursive, since any physical processsubserving a function of this type is shown to imply another such function.Thus for at least one aspect of human consciousness, the mind-body problem isnow conclusively resolved.
