Subject-object relations reflect the relation of phenomenology and physics and are at the centre of interest in brain research and neuro-psychology. The unresolved dichotomy behind this relation is one of the most challenging questions of our time. Setting out from causal modelling I suggest a particular topology for subject-object relations and argue that we can find a physical realization in living organism that provides a continuous transform between both domains. In a geometrical metaphor this transform has the topological properties of a one-sided surface or non-orientable flat. I argue that such a surface can be found within the electronic organization of atomic linings in the filter region of ion-conducting membrane proteins. Electron transfer along these atomic surfaces makes chiral induced spin changes to a promising signature of subject-object relations and has found experimental evidence in previous studies. I finally advocate the view that there is a basic dualism between subject and object which is physical on both sides and realized by an inversion relation along one-sided surfaces. The transition between these two aspects however is non-physical and hosts the phenomenology that characterizes subjectivity.
主体 - 客体关系反映了现象学与物理学的关系，并且是大脑研究和神经心理学的核心关注点。这种关系背后未解决的二分法是我们这个时代最具挑战性的问题之一。从因果建模出发，我提出了一种主体 - 客体关系的特定拓扑结构，并认为我们可以在生物体中找到一种物理实现，它能在两个领域之间提供连续的转换。用几何隐喻来说，这种转换具有单侧表面或不可定向平面的拓扑性质。我认为这样的表面可以在离子传导膜蛋白过滤区域的原子衬里的电子组织中找到。沿着这些原子表面的电子转移使手性诱导自旋变化成为主体 - 客体关系的一个有前景的特征，并且在先前的研究中已找到实验证据。我最终主张这样一种观点，即主体和客体之间存在一种基本的二元论，其在双方都是物理的，并通过沿着单侧表面的反转关系实现。然而，这两个方面之间的转变是非物理的，并且承载着表征主观性的现象学。
