Aspects/Consciousness/Physical/Psychological/Chalmers: Some people object, consciousness could simply be a different aspect of the physical, as the evening star and morning star are aspects of the Venus.
ChalmersVs: we must ask, is the phenomenal aspect contained in the physical? If so, we have a kind of materialism that we have already disproved because of the lack of logical supervenience. If not, then the phenomenal aspect provides merely contingent facts beyond the physical, and this leads to a further kind of property dualism.

Aspects/Chalmers: a principle of the two aspects of consciousness (phenomenal/physical) does not yet secure by itself that the structure of the psychological awareness is projected onto the conscious experience.
Solution: we must show that the physical information space (> information/Chalmers) is a space to which the two-aspect principle applies.
In any case, the two-aspect principle is compatible with the principle of organizational invariance (> invariance principle) because a system realizes an information space by virtue of its functional organization.
