The psychophysical parallelism described in the supporting argument is fully explicable as synchronized but causally isolated series, making 'intimate interaction' an inference unsupported by phenomenology alone.

Causally isolated(as used in metaphysics): Completely separate from each other in terms of cause and effect—one thing cannot influence or create the other, even if they happen at the same time.
Intimate interaction(as used in philosophy of mind): A close causal relationship where one thing directly influences or affects another—in this case, the idea that the mind and body actually affect each other.
Psychophysical parallelism(as used in philosophy of mind): A theory that the mind and body run on separate tracks—like two clocks keeping perfect time with each other but never actually touching. Events in your mind (like deciding to raise your arm) happen alongside events in your body (your arm rising), but neither one actually causes the other.
inference(Nyāya epistemology): A component of epistemology in Nyāya philosophy; a veritable inference yields knowledge about the world and must have premises that are themselves known
