> which includes everything in completed physics, chemistry, and neurophysiology
"Completed", which I take to mean stuff that someone already understands, now. But nobody understands how changes at a neurophysiological level affect mental states and thoughts. At best, we can say that some mental states are correlated with some neurophys. phenomena.

Not if I have correctly understood what author meant by "completed". Nobody knows exactly how a brain works.
I believe "completed" means precisely the opposite - current physical theories are incomplete, but Mary has access to the completed version. Otherwise, the whole argument would only prove that qualia are not part of currently understood physical theories, which not even the most convinced physicalist would contest I think.
