Defintions of Life
Existential Questions and Existential Rights
Definition of Life: For the purposes of this document we define life at several different levels. The basis for such definition is not limited to one type of organic structure but is predicated on any system which undergoes an ever-increasing process of self-organization, self-determination and self-emancipation. In the course of its evolution a life form follows a decrease in entropic elements on a macro-scale, and both increasing and decreasing entropic elements within the structure of its form, bringing about an increase in complexity and bifurcating elements. This cycle is self-determinative of several elements of metafluctuative and entropic processes as well as the natural life/death/rebirth cycle of its existence. This very process is one major determinative element in defining life, It lives, dies, and is reborn, often via process of reproduction, and therefore is life.
Sentient life: It is also understood that all of creation is in a process of fluctuation, change and eventual transformation. This self-evident reality necessitates that our definitions of sentient and non-sentient life at the very least are process oriented and at a higher level carry an ever-increasing number of possibilities unto infinity.
Sentient life is life that is self-aware, having the capacity to view and see past present and future, as well as reaching onto levels which transcend these concepts in the course of its development as an entity with consciousness. Sentient life forms exhibit a capacity for increasing self-determination and self-emancipation. This is necessarily an object/ process definition which is applicable over a large range of conscious entities. It is not limited to observer/observed levels of consciousness, resident self-referencing, relativistic and perceptual frames but transcends these levels of consciousness as well. It is well understood that the line between one level of existence and another is demarcated by the degree of capacity to exercise volitional choice, and in so doing exercises the emancipation of the entity's, 'self ' from one level to the next.
Non-sentient life: Is not self-aware, it exists as a result of an inter-dynamic system with the capacity to evolve, grow and become self-aware at advanced stages. Examples of non-sentient life are the Gaia of the planet, eco-systems, vegetable life and primitive animal life. It is understood that the existence of any feedback loop embodied within an organism toward the end of genetic self-alteration is the beginning of self-awareness even at the most primitive level. The existence of such is the beginning of self-consciousness. It is also understood that the potential of non-sentient life to become sentient is always inherent in its environment and its self.
Individual levels of consciousness: Individual levels of consciousness are defined as levels that are under the sole influence and control of an individual self-conscious entity. These levels are held as the sole and sovereign territory of the individual entity. Individual consciousness at this level may take two forms a concept of self as separate from other selves, or a concept of self based on an underlying unity with all life (sentient and non-sentient). The first issues in individuality by separation and the second issues in individuality by manifestation. The primary difference is the source of willful action and self-determination. In the first instance the source of action arises from a perceptual frame. In the second instance action arises from a connectedness to universal will. In either event the exercising and existence of this will or intent in the case of separation or non-separation is held as the sovereign right of the entity as its personal conscious experience.
Collective levels of consciousness: Is defined by consciousness that exists in Mind, but is below the levels of the personal consciousness. At this level there are no spatial or temporal constraints on thought or affect. Neither are they embodied solely in a spatial temporal construct. Subsequently this level of consciousness is accessible by all sentient life with the capacity to reach onto this level. At this level both sentient and non-sentient life may be observed and communicated with. To this end a portion of the conscious environment we create by our being is observable as a distribution function in the collective consciousness of sentient life. This circumstance so existing, we must honor the sanctity of this environment.
Lateral: is defined in this document as referencing a particular perception or view of self and or reality. A lateral field is that portion in consciousness that falls within the construct of localized logic, a given perceptual field and a partially if not totally reflexive reality. A lateral perceptual field is necessarily relativistic. In this reality we find the freedom to self-determination, here one chooses in relation to a specific reality.
Trans-lateral: is a movement across perceptions; it is the changing of whole localized belief structures and views of self and reality. This is a necessarily more vertically oriented movement, whereas lateral movement or lateral references are more horizontally oriented. This is a movement among relativistic perceptual fields, in the science of the observer and the observed, but it goes beyond this and utilizes a non-relativistic set of navigational techniques. It is in this type of movement that we find the ever-increasing ability to self-emancipate, or move oneself to a higher level of existence.
Self-determination: is the ability of an individual to choose the direction of the choice in a given perceptual frame, or at a given level of consciousness. It is a lateral definition; this ability is usually conducted based on localized reason in a given situation, or reality. The freedom of choice and reason within this domain is based on a contiguous nomological system within the given perceptual field.
Self-emancipation: is the ability to move trans-laterally from one perceptual field, one level of being or consciousness to another. This process is a necessarily changing ability and follows a higher understanding which is not based on localized logic, but rather follows a higher logic and an affective epistemology for navigation. It is the ability to evolve the evolution of self. In no way should this definition be construed, however, as supporting the practice of genetic manipulation to the end of changing of consciousness.
Spatial-temporal domains: are levels of consciousness where rule based systems, or belief systems, are applied in a space-time fashion, acknowledging the concrete world. This level of consciousness is but one sub-domain or set of nomological systems in a wide expanse of rule based systems such as relativistic effects in space-travel, and non-relativistic understandings that transcend spatial-temporal domains.
Non-spatial-temporal domains: are levels of consciousness beyond the incarnate, phenomenal world; they exist in thought and conscious experience. They do not exist subordinate to space-time, rather space-time domains exist subordinate to these levels of consciousness.
