Mind–body dualism, or mind–body duality, is a view in the philosophy of mind that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical, or that the mind and body are distinct and separable.

Isn't Mind–body dualism the result of a complex Universe (Where the body is in the real part while the mind is in the imaginary part)?

    It seems to me you are reading too much into the terms 'real' and 'imaginary' in the context of complex numbers; we could instead could call them 'a-components' and 'b-components', and their mathematical behaviour would not change. Additionally, the cartesian representation you describe is not the only way of representing complex numbers - they can also be represented in polar form. Don't be misled by maths terms identical to lay terms, but having a specific technical meaning in maths (cf. many people treating a mathematical 'category' as not having a specific mathematical meaning).

    It would be necessary to reduce all complexity for a fundamental theory and so both Mind and Body would have to go. If they remain then our theory is non-reductive. Hence mind-only and matter-only theories are non-reductive. This might be called the central problem of metaphysics although it isn't a problem so much as a challenge. .

    +1 I added another up vote. I don't agree that mathematics is the way to resolve the mind-body dualism. It reminds me of many worlds using mathematics to come up with its fantasy lands, but I think your questions should be answered courteously.

    @Not_Here The quantum mind or quantum consciousness group of hypotheses propose that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness . It posits that quantum mechanical phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition , may play an important part in the brain's function and could form the basis of an explanation of consciousness.

    The Decartes delusion of mind-body duality has long lost any status of scientific proposition and is purely a religious construct at present

Interesting debate. Not sure about what? But I do agree that there is no place in a logical argument for the irrelevant. As to 'mind', I have (introspectively) tried to find it, so that I could describe it (not explain it - which is not possible to do about anything (the why? of it)). I could find nothing,in the absence of its ephemeral content (that which lasts only for as long as it is required).

Like @Alexis's comment says, you're improperly reading way too much into complex analysis, i.e., your interpretation's beyond unwarranted -- it's "not even wrong". Both here and in your preceding identical post Is the Universe real or complex?

For example, Electricity&Magnetism textbooks universally describe electromagnetic phenomena using complex analysis, e.g., https://books.google.com/books?id=JZNeBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA241 where all those exp{-iwt}'s are complex. You wanna make some paranormal interpretation about the real/complex parts of electromagnetic waves? Or would that be beyond absurdly ridiculous? (And I've got a question: Who upvoted this question?)

    -1 For asking who upvoted the question. Your answer was fine until you addressed the questioner personally by writing "You wanna make some paranormal interpretation..." It doesn't matter what the questioner wants to do with the information.

    @John Forkosh To know what you mean by paranormal, I first need to know what is normal in your opinion? If your definition of normal is a world that follows the rules of Newtonian mechanics, then quantum mechanics is paranormal.

    @TheLastJedi I think it would be more apt to say that while quantum mechanics are not paranormal, the concepts are frequently applied haphazardly to unrelated concepts that ARE paranormal.

    @TheLastJedi (also see preceding comment to (at)FH). If pressed to say what I'd mean by "paranormal", it's any phenomenon not reproducibly observable by a well-defined, unambiguous experimental procedure.

    @JohnForkosh "any phenomenon not reproducibly observable by a well-defined, unambiguous experimental procedure" such as Tachyon, cosmic censorship, Quantum entanglement, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,...Quantum mechanics in a nutshell!
