Physicists have proven time is an illusion, every point in this physical substrate is fixed in time and space therefore consciousness, because of its quality of becoming, is necessarily independent of the universe. Conscious experience of the universe is God (collective consciousness) inducing change according to His will. We live inside a flip book.

>the interaction problem
Body is the physical part of the system, i.e. neuroanatomy of the brain, circulatory system, etc. Mind is an emergent phenomenon of neural processing. They interact in the same way that briskly moving your legs while standing produces running, particular physical interactions giving rise to outcomes greater than themselves.

>material and immaterial logically cannot interact
You're introducing immaterialism to a situation which involves only material objects and non-material phenomena. Immaterialist notions of the soul were always known to be bullshit, a fucking princess btfo'd Descartes retarded theory because it's so stupid.

We now know that unpredictable, non-linear systems of matter produce emergent phenomena (patterns) through attractors and feedback loops. Browsing 4chan, sitting down, jerking off, these states are not merely their material substrate, but the accumulation of interactions among all necessary substrata. The emergent phenomenon is in itself not physical, but a particular pattern within a physical system and experienced/observed as something in itself. Thus it can be said that the mind and body are distinct if we take the body to be the material basis through which consciousness arises which every fucking neuroscientist will tell you is the case.
