tries to solve the interaction problem by claiming the interaction of these two states is done through an algorithmic system of computational processes. The functionalist tries to adhere to a doctrine of a physical brain state supported by mental events. The idea of a sole physical entity is a monist idea. Functionalists fall out of this category because they accept the existence and importance of mental events and suggest a causal relationship through computational interaction.
