Potential existence

Potential existence is a type of existence that could happen but has not yet happened or may never happen. Matter and energy has existed since the big bang or even before. Their existence is actual existence but properties or organizations or structures of matter may or may exist in the past, now, or ever in the future. For instance, matter in the form of he earth has actually existed and will likely exist into the future. But complex patterns and functioning of matter like that occur in the brain may or may not ever exist. We know that the structure and functioning of matter that was produced for each person that has ever lived are cases of actual existence of these patterns of matter functionings through time. If however, we imagine making differences to these physapaths the universe may or may not ever actually produce them thus they have potential existence. If they can not be produced under any physical conditions (in any universe) they do not have potential physical existence. If however they can be logically and coherently imagined but never produced then they have imaginary existence. If the idea is not physically possible and may not be logical or coherent and produces a paradox, it has paradoxical existence. If something is a property of an object or idea it has property existence. Imaginary property existence is where the imaginary property is a property created with or by an imaginary object or idea.

Why are there so many different kinds of existence when we deal with consciousness? Consciousness deals with the reality that the brain produces not the reality that the body exist in. The human brain can produce many different realities with many different objects and scenarios, where from an outside observer's perspective are illusionary or even psychotic. The sensepath and enviropath influences the way the brain functions, but it does not have to influence it in ways that create a clear and correct view of reality. In fact, the normal brain is not complex enough to get a complete and accurate picture of reality. This is shown over and over again in psychology experiments dealing with, among other things, attention.
