I take it you believe mind is not in anything but rather some sort of free-
floating, all pervading, beyond space/time essence extending to infinity
and beyond, i.e. God-like. Please correct me if wrong and tell us what
mind is if it is not "in" anything.
Induction infers the future from the past, the unobserved from the
observed and, in general, the unknown from the known. This is
essentially the way science and philosophy proceeds in spite of Popper
and his black crows.
