===Model validation under the physical being open===
If nature includes occurrences of consciousness influencing the physical domain (rather than only the physical domain influencing the physical domain and consciousness merely being an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphenomenon epiphenomena]) then model validation in MCS also falls within the scope of physics. In this case the current theory and laws of physics, as we know them, would be slightly wrong and in need of adjustment. It has been shown that if consciousness does have an influence on the physical domain then this will at least manifest itself as an influence on quantum collapse<ref name=Kremnizer2021/> and, therefore, proto-consciousness induced quantum collapse is an important line of research in model validation. However, it should be noted that if the physical is open then this does not imply that consciousness is substantially more than an epiphenomena in the sense that the influence of consciousness on the physical domain may merely provide another feedback loop for the physical domain to act on itself. Models that are rooted in non-physicalist philosophical frameworks, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism idealism] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_monism neutral monism], are natural candidates when looking for models that assume the physical as open.
