Thought is generated by conscious beings at unique frequencies, varieties, and depths of complexity.

"Conscious beings" is referring to all living organisms. The frequency of thoughts, how varied they are, and most importantly how complex they are, all depend on the beings physiological factors.

Humans have a particularly high volume of complex, varied thought compared to all other known organisms. We additionally have the ability to manipulate our physical environment in a more efficient way than all other organisms thanks to our primate origins and opposable thumbs.

Aquatic animals like the octopus may have complex and rapid thought, but discussing the experiential consciousness of a species whose genetics diverted from our own 700 million years ago would be difficult.

The thoughts that each human has come in a vast variety of forms, each offering it's own perspective. Thoughts may offer insight on your external circumstances, internal states, or may be completely novel (creative).

Humans often have conflicting thoughts one after the other, especially when trying to decide something. Over time we build up our identity based off of what sort of thoughts we externalise, and we build up our judgement based on what thoughts we internalise.

Every human views the world in a completely unique fashion, entirely determined by one's circumstances. These circumstances are entirely out of your control, but happen to be a determining factor in how your conscious reality is interpreted.

From the moment of your conception, the form your consciousness is set to inhabit is entirely out of your hands. You are born to two primates, who have come from a long, long lineage, effectively randomising the specific DNA they have. This means your bone structure, physical attributes, and how robust your organs are is all entirely out of your hands. Then there's the problem that the point in time, as well as the geographical location you're born into determines the set of circumstances you'll live your life in.

Nobody appears to have invented a way to choose your parents yet, although the rich and powerful may keeping it to themselves.

When comparing two people with identical physical compositions (height, weight, age, race) but different brains and circumstances, you'll find they have dramatically different ways of interpreting, understanding, and interacting with their reality. Whilst our physical forms may influence the way we're perceived, ultimately the only factors in the way our conscious generates thought are our environment and our brain.

Differences in the frequency, variety, and complexity of thought an individual has impacts a number of experiential elements of life. Invariably these factors also influence the way other humans treat you.

A person with a high thought frequency will have on average more unique thoughts than someone with lower thought frequency during the same amount of time. The person with higher frequency would likely:

• Come up with a clever remark faster
• Multi-task better
• Make quicker judgements
• Adapt more readily to new circumstances
• Test better in global education systems

A person with high thought variety would have less consistent thought patterns and content than someone with a low thought variety. The person with higher variety would likely:

• Be less certain of what they wanted or believed in
• Be more curious
• Have more thoughts that they don't identify with (more prone to cognitive dissonance)
• Engage in more creative expression

A person with high thought complexity would have longer and more intricate thoughts than someone with low thought complexity. The person with higher complexity would be more likely to:

• Evaluate their own ideas and judgements more frequently and deeply
• Spend more time thinking about a singular idea
• Engage with philosophy and literature
• Design and implement systematic ways of interfacing with the world

Everyone's conscious mind falls somewhere onto each of these three spectrums, which dictate the manner in which we generate and experience thought. But our brains don't stop at experiencing thought. We then apply judgement to every thought, multiple times over.

The first judgement we make is whether or not we identify with a thought. Thoughts we don't identify with will get dismissed rapidly and can evoke a sense of disgust, confusion, or discomfort. These can be labelled intrusive thoughts, and are the result of creative thought patterns generating a novel idea that we deem unacceptable.

When we do identify with an idea, it then expresses itself as either internal or external thought. Internal thought looks like wondering, imagining, contemplating, or judging. External thought looks like deciding, saying, reacting, wanting.

The second judgement we make is whether or not we internalise or externalise the thought. As thoughts iterate through time, an internal thought can be brought out into the world, and an external thought can be suppressed and pushed inward.

A comparison of iterative thought translating from one realm to the other:

Thinking about what it would be like live in a country you've never been to: 
- Internal, creative and considering thought

Talking to someone about the country you were thinking about:
- External, creates connection between souls



Deciding to go buy some fancy sushi:
- External, decisive and influences your actions and thus circumstances

Restraining yourself from spending the money, as it's out of your budget:
- Internal, choosing to refrain from engaging with your will for a rational reason

Inspired by these notes:

every body has a spectrum of thought that is generated, at a unique rate at tempo per individual

• on the way down i was thinkin all abt the houses n my enviroment
• n on the way back i was havin heaps of internal like ideas and thoughts n inspiration

you do not have a personality, you have circumstances

the soul (the source of the consciousness that makes your identity even possible) is shared with every other human being

and the only thing that makes you "you" is the cirucmstances that the shared soul is thrown into, for reasons we can only look to the stars for
