no, you're making the same mistake again: you think that if things correspond to the same thing physically they have to be the same thing, which is not true. Just like a numeral isn't a number, even though both can be represented by '1' for instance

With brain imaging with a high enough resolution they will be able to because it definitely is material. If it’s not material it’s either empty space or it doesn’t exist at all. Only nothingness is intangible.

Another example: music is a phenomenon that is physically made up of sound waves, but music is not those sound waves. Conceptually it's more than that. That doesn't mean there's a mystical music ghost living in the sound waves

Your numeral vs number analogy is much stronger and my best response is that it’s not applicable to the brain / mind dichotomy. I’m not going to call it a false equivalency or anything. I’m just going to admit I don’t have a good response to that one.

Dude, there's no good response because it's true. Really.
Getting back to the music example, because it shows where your mistake lies and it's the easiest example to work with. Take this simple argument: there are sound waves which are not music. Therefore, they're a different thing. You might say that just means music is a type of sound wave, so another argument: some music can make you cry. If you deciphered soundwaves to find out what notes are being played without hearing it, you wouldn't cry. Physically music is only manifested by sound waves, conceptually it's a different thing.

my teacher mode randomly got activated, this is a fun challenge. I've never tried to explain something to someone as stubborn as Hawk

If I declare that every sound ever made and ever will be made is my composition then suddenly all sound becomes music. John Cage even turned silence into music.

and about your first statement: the interpretation of something is not the thing itself. A sound wave is a sound wave; music is the interpretation of the sound wave. All sounds can be music if you declare them so of course, but just like music, a sound is not a sound wave, but the interpretation of it

I think he just needs to feel superior so he's gaslighting people to convince them they believe in something they don't.
