1. Lateral potential awaremoments can be much closer to the current actual awaremoment than linear future awaremoments.
What this means is that there are many divergent awarepaths from this or your current awaremoment that have awaremoments that can be much closer to being the same awaremoment than awaremoments that are produced later in your life. For example, you could be experiencing one of many different consciousnesses than you will actually be experiencing in the next moment. These moments can be much closer to the current awaremoment than what you will be experience a long time from now. Since another itobody can produce a version of your present consciousness or awaremoment your consciousness and ixperiencitness can be closer to another itobody's consciousness and ixperiencitness than to your actual future consciousness produced by your current body.
2. Lateral potential physimoments can be much closer to the current actual physimoment than linear future physimoments.
The brain's current divergent structure and functioning will be closer to the way it is now than the way it actually will be much later in time. Assuming that the divergent current awaremoment is not radically changed by a massive rapid injury to the brain or some other radical change to the brain structure and functioning.
3. We can visualize many possible lateral awaremoments. We can visualize them better than many future linear awaremoments.
This first part of this statement is obvious to many people. This is done when you think of doing things different than you actually end up doing them. In a sense it is daydreaming about what you want (or see happening to you) to do but do not end up doing. We can have very elaborate day dreams that never happen about what we can do.
The second part of this statement is that we can also imagine our future experiences. But in the future we will be different so our consciousness will also be different than what we imagine it will be. The divergent current potential awaremoment will be closer to the current consciousness than distant future actual awaremoments.
