Introduction

In order to understand free-will, I need to begin with the most foundational idea of everything: consciousness. After this idea is adequately established, then I will be able to address the rest of the necessary concepts for free-will in subsequent chapters.

To guide the analysis of this chapter, I present my ideas within ten foundational questions of consciousness.

First, what is an approximate definition of consciousness? Second, what are the three types or orders of consciousness? Third, what percentage distribution exists within total consciousness? Fourth, what are universe components? Fifth, what is one alternative interpretation of the big bang? Sixth, where does consciousness come from? Seventh, which came first: evolution or consciousness? Eighth, what is an approximate definition of evolution? Ninth, which came first: energy or consciousness? Tenth, why is consciousness such a nebulous term?

The First Foundational Question of Consciousness:

What is an approximate definition of consciousness?

Any definition I provide for consciousness is only an approximate description, not an exact claim. The reasoning behind this statement is only apparent once this first chapter is studied and reflected upon in its entirety. The fact of the matter is that consciousness exists as a truly undefined term. Even so, there is still great merit in providing some approximate definition of consciousness.

Currently, my observations of consciousness indicate that awareness, connectedness and reality and multi gathered information are the main components associated with consciousness. With all that said, here is my initial general approximate definition of consciousness.

Consciousness (or, more precisely, Total Consciousness) is the multi-collected level of awareness and connectedness with reality; such that, consciousness exists in three main types or orders.

Initial to my description of consciousness is that—whatever consciousness is exactly—it is primarily composed of awareness to reality and of connectedness to reality. Meaning that, a conscious being knows reality exists around them; and that they are part of reality as an active creative being within reality.

Another huge claim with my definition of consciousness is that, I am rejecting the assumption that consciousness exists as one entire piece. In particular, I am defining—describing—consciousness as being partitioned, yet interconnected, as three divisions of labors or types or orders of responsibility within any conscious being.

Of course, it all depends on the observer’s ability to interpret the data of reality. And, from my perspective, it doesn’t make sense to describe consciousness as one part or one entire piece. Especially, if one considers how the human body and the various bio and eco-systems function on Earth. All observations of these systems indicate a division of labor within consciousness.

1. What is an approximate definition of consciousness?

Consciousness (or, more precisely, Total Consciousness) is the multi-collected level of awareness and connectedness with reality; such that, consciousness exists in three main types or orders of responsibility.

The Second Foundational Question of Consciousness:

What are the three types or orders of consciousness?

A most obvious question to ask is why are there three types or three orders of consciousness? Why not more? The truth of the matter is that there may be more orders or types of consciousness; but, for the time being, I see only three main categories or divisions of labor.

From a pure practical manner in reality, consciousness would, within reason, need to divide its labor—or, awareness and connectedness to reality—into three main jobs: exploration of reality; adaptations through memory of reality; and interconnectedness with other consciousnesses of reality.

As before, here are my approximate definitions of the three types of consciousness, which together describe total-consciousness, or simply just consciousness.

E-Consciousness (or, exploratory-consciousness) is the primary exploratory part of total-consciousness, which is responsible for the awareness and connectedness to reality, with respect to waking day to day interactions.

Ava-Consciousness (or, acquired evolutionary adapted-consciousness) is the primary part of total-consciousness, which is responsible for the awareness and connectedness to reality, with respect to: DNA, body development and functioning, memory archival and retrieval of life trials, and all other systems of the human body or living being.

I-Consciousness (or, interconnected-consciousness) is the primary part of total-consciousness, which is responsible for the awareness and connectedness to reality, with respect to: communication, connected balance and concurrent adaptation between all other relevant, near relevant and far relevant consciousnesses within other living beings.

2. What are the three types of consciousness?

The three main types of consciousness are: e-consciousness; ava-consciousness; and i-consciousness.
