Molecular motion causes fluidity.
Molecular cohesion causes solidity.
Neuronic interactions cause consciousness.
These effects are properties, not discrete objects.
"We know consciousness by being conscious" means that subjects of consciousness are conscious of consciousness by being conscious.
"We observe conscious behaviour" means that subjects of consciousness are conscious of the behaviour of other subjects of consciousness.
Thus, consciousness is irreducible.
Any newly discovered cellular, molecular or subatomic process is objective.
Therefore, no such process is either subjective or intermediate between objectivity and subjectivity.
Empirical observation is consciousness of objects, not an object of consciousness.
Subjects of consciousness empirically observe objects of consciousness but not consciousness.
