Physicalism
Galen Strawson doesn't take into account procedurality, cause and effect relationship and the fact that ontological states (how things are) are not affected by human knowledge or interpretation...

Hempel's dilemma
most of physics is not ontological / ontological efforts [Robert W. Spekkens] do exist, and are mathematical. They are not useless. They try to represent ontology within physics, and it's not some useless trick because physics still has open questions (it always will, because the hypernymic = wider group of its fundamental constituents is nondefinable...) but that doesn't mean that nature is magical = uncausal // Hempel erroneously claims that physicalism = causal procedurality is physics

Hempel's dilemma
some fields of study like the foundations of mathematics and quantum foundations provide the deep causality of these fields; ontologically the same is required, an ontological foundation to reality, see: Robert W. Spekkens but also the University of Oxford has texts on the subject. Antiphysicalists are unproceduralists and open to the violation of cause and effect; magic and non-definitions / without ontological (here not merely theoretical) foundations nothing physical would exist

Hempel's dilemma
in physicalism 'natural' means procedural, causally coherent or all effect have particular causes regardless of human knowledge and interpretation and it also means 'ontological reality' and not just an hypothesis or a calculational technique / if unprocedural things exist or we are open to that possibility like Hempel, these things have no ontological self-definition, thus: 1. they cannot have a specific identity; arbitrarily/uncausally will mutate into other things and vanish,2.unfoundational
