How does an object acquire its particular form?
You aver much without providing much evidence. E.g., "The mind is a physical machine which supports the functions of sentience and rationality. W/o that physical machinery, there can be no instance of mind and thus no instance of logic."
What is your evidence for the statement "the mind is a physical machine?" How does something physical acquire a mind — what is the natural process for this? Is mind innate to a material particle?
Yours sounds like just another "just-so" story to me, spunkets.

INDEED.
Objects don't aquire form. Objects must transform according to the law of conservation of energy.

There's plenty of evidence in the neurology and psychiatric lit. I'm sure that if yours, or a loved one's starts having problems, you'll head of to mechanics, er,um... doc's office.
"How does something physical acquire a mind — what is the natural process for this?"
The mind's functions result from the assembled physical system, which is derived from the properties of the objects assembled. Mind is not something that's added to the brain, it arises out of and because of, the properties of the objects the assembly is composed of.
"Is mind innate to a material particle?"
No, as per above.
