Continuity of structure and functioning of matter
More actions
The concept of Continuity of structure and functioning of matter is the idea of sameness of structure and functioning of matter. In the brain from one moment to the next is usually continuity or a large degree of sameness. As a result there is a large degree of sameness of consciousness and ixperiencitness from one moment to the next . If there is damage of parts of the brain there likely will be less continuity of the structure and functioning of the brain thus less continuity of consciousness. There is also the concept of continuity of sensepath, enviropath, and externapath effect on the continuity of the physapath. But from moment to moment there can be radical changes in these types of paths thus forming types of discontinuities in consciousness. Large enough discontinuities in structure and functioning of the physapath can form discontinuities in the awarepath. However, discontinuities in space, time, matter or bodies, if there is continuities in the structure and functioning of the bodies can still produce continuity in the consciousness or awarepath in these discontinuous physapaths.
