  After centuries of research, how subjective experience relates to physical
phenomena remains unclear. Recent strategies attempt to identify the physical
correlates of experience. Less studied is how scientists eliminate the
"spurious" aspects of their subjective experience to establish an "objective"
science. Here we model scientists doing science. This entails a dynamics
formally analogous to quantum dynamics. The analogue of Planck's constant is
related to the process of observation. This reverse-engineering of science
suggests that some "non-spurious" aspects of experience remain: embodiment and
the mere capacity to observe from an intrinsic perspective. A relational view
emerges: every experience has a physical correlate and every physical
phenomenon is an experience for "someone". This may help bridge the explanatory
gap and hints at non-dual modes of experience.
