View source for Potential past existence arguments for coriginals

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 particular 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.
