Actual past existence arguments for coriginal

From Aware Theory
Jump to: navigation, search

We can imagine all sorts of variations to our lives. These variations will change what we experience and consequently our consciousness. If our consciousness is different the structure and functioning of the brain will be different as well. There are thus the existence arguments for a particular structure and functioning and the existence arguments for a paticular consciousness. There is potential existence, present existence, and past existence, and future existence, of the consciousness and the structure and functioning. The consciousness is called the awarepath the structure and functioning is called the physapath. The coriginal's consciousness is named the coriawarepath and the coriginal's structure and functioning is called the coriphysapath.

There are a very large amount of imaginable consciousness awarepaths that the original or you could have experienced if the conditions would have been different. This is because there are a very large amount of deferent sensepaths and externapaths that can be imagined being applied to each point in the life of the original or you producing many different physapaths and awarepaths. See Externapath existence arguments and Sensepath existence arguments.


Coriginal existence arguments can be broken down into potential past existence arguments, potential present existence arguments, potential future existence arguments, actual past existence arguments, actual present existence arguments, and actual future existence arguments,

Potential past existence arguments for coriginals: means that a particular set of awarepaths & physapaths corresponding to the concept of coriginal could have existed in the past.

Potential present existence arguments for coriginals: means that a particular set of awarepaths and physapaths corresponding to the concept of coriginal could exist in the present.

Potential future existence arguments for coriginals: means that a particular set of awarepaths and physapaths corresponding to the concept of coriginal could exist in the future.

Actual past existence arguments for coriginal: means that a particular of awarepath and physapath corresponding to the concept of coriginal actually existed in the past.

Actual present existence arguments for coriginal: means that a particular of awarepath and physapath corresponding to the concept of coriginal actually exists in the present.

Actual future existence arguments for coriginal: means that a particular of awarepath and physapath corresponding to the concept of coriginal will actually exist in the future.

The arguments for potential existence of coriginals does not mean that we have to prove that a particular structure and functioning or physapath or the corresponding consciousness or awarepath actually existed only that it could have existed if the conditions would have been right. We have to prove that a particular physapath is possible to produce by any means, not that it did get produced.

It is much more difficult to prove actual existence when our knowledge of the past, present, or future, from our perspective is so limited. But just because our knowledge is limited does not means that every conscious being will not know this information, especially the awarepath of the coriginal itself that we are proving its existence.
