It is quite clear, from his own work, that Goff is just casting around to find something about science and the scientific method which might account for a belief (that consciousness is not a physical phenomenon) that he has come to by other means. This view is intrinsic to a doctrine of "Russellian Monism" which asserts that the physical sciences can only talk of the relationship between entities, and not their intrinsic natures. How Goff hopes to discover anything substantive about supposed intrinsic natures that do not reveal themselves by participating in relations, or how they can account for consciousness apparently being causal in the physical world, has not been revealed to us by him, or anyone else.
