The MoM Consciousness Theory Posits:

• The fundamental constitution of consciousness involves having multiple goals, and continuously adjudicating across such goals so as to operationalize action continuously in the world.

  • Perception is de facto the operant process of consciousness and is this very process of goal adjudication.

• A consciousness’ goal adjudication (perception), involves components of both information intake and information discrimination.

  • The intake of information for perception involves not just raw information intake (e.g., vision) but also systems of value judgments which are patterns based on the genetics and epigenetics (e.g., IQ and personality), and experience (e.g., learned patterns and behaviors) of the organism or organism’s consciousness that equally narrows the process of raw information intake to the simplest operable conceptualizations of understanding (e.g., your understanding of a helicopter is sufficient for how you personally act in the world, though you couldn’t fly, nor fix, nor explain in detail the mechanics of how a helicopter works).

  • This process of the brain seeking to be as efficient as possible in information discrimination is known as the brain efficiency hypothesis, a well-established finding amongst neuroscience.

  • These very attempts at efficiency are a byproduct of extreme thrownness. I.e., the organism’s goals, hierarchy of goals, and means by which to adjudicate across such goals continuously (known as perception) are a product of the environment in which an organism or an organism’s consciousness finds itself.
