This is probably the best explanation - it definitely helps to be visualizing the number line for this. I really enjoy the 3blue1brown YouTube series on this concept

Disagree that it's self-evident and objective. Couldn't you just train an AI with a camera to observe a brain and tell you when it's seen one?

I tend to think that the brain is the structure, and what people call the mind is the activity.
