Under physicalism, the laws of nature are seen as irreducible causal patterns somehow built into the fabric of the cosmos. It is the dynamic unfolding of these patterns that leads to the order and complexity we see around ourselves. Under idealism, such irreducible causal patterns are posited to be somehow built into universal consciousness itself, instead of an objective fabric of space- time. Yet, beyond this distinction, they are the same patterns that physicalism entails, as inherent to consciousness as physical laws are allegedly inherent to the fabric of space-time. Idealism poses no extra diculty than physicalism in this regard
