Consciousness
It is of critical importance for our survival,
that we store in our brain concepts that we can replay and try in different
combinations. This allows us to try out alternative futures, according
to what concepts we act on. This ability also gives us the opportunity
to 'experience' a reality that has never truly happened - unless we decide
to try to make it happen. The fact that we can imagine a reality that
is not happening promotes the feeling that the reality that is happening
is unique - that we have a unique experience, a consciousness of uniqueness.
