Background
----------

So I received pictures of a wonderful book ([Unlocking Mysteries of Birth and Death](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lnnet7tsQSt7o_0XWvRuub_dt5B4h66c)) and wanted to know about my interpretation of the passages. However first a detour (1):

1. In a [neuroscience experiment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will#Libet_experiment) one ask you to raise a hand and before you raise it determine which one you will raise before you actually raise it. This seems to imply there are two ways to predict the evolution of the system. One is by following the train of "thoughts" of the person in question. The other is by treating it as a physical system and determining the equations of motion. Buddhism teaches "thoughts" as what we are consciously aware of and they are only one level of awareness accessible to us. I would conjecture there is a one to one mapping between the physical and this entire pool of consciousness.
Now given there is a [one-to-one mapping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injective_function) one essentially has redundant variables. For example consider: x=y=c where x and y are variables of physical world and c is the variable of the conscious pool. One should be able to eliminate the variables of coordinates of space-time.
2. Point (1) explains: The Simultaneity of Cause and Effect [(page 182)](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YHrpMSfGtWHv8mdXjyBzDq4A-Pp7CgOH/view?usp=sharing)

I'd go further on my interpretation of the of the rest of the pages ... But maybe another post ...

Questions
---------

Is this a valid interpretation? What is this position known as in Western philosophy?
