Why do you have to show the likeness ? There’s a strict level of fidelity being imposed here.
The brain has to only represent the sensations it encodes.
The tree and the brain are both material, so the phenomenon of the brain encoding it will also be material.
There’s no need for a soul to represent a further reality.
Even if a soul exists, wouldn’t that result in the same issue again?
The argument sounds like we are saying that there has to be a tiny tree in our heads for reality to be perceived. Since there is no tiny tree, we have to perceive it in our immaterial soul. Which just bumps the issue to the immaterial.
But then how is the immaterial perceiving the material ?
