## Abstract in the source's own vocabulary

|
Deppert argues that human consciousness cannot be a sudden non-evolutionary
|
|
|
|
|
|
exception: it must be understood with a *general* concept of consciousness built
|
|
|
|
|
|
on a *general* concept of living being. A living being is an open (dissipative)
|
|
|
|
|
|
system with a survival problem that it can solve for a while. Survival requires
|
|
|
|
|
|
five coupled functions (perception, danger-assessment, measure-readiness,
|
|
|
|
|
|
measure-execution, energy supply). When those functions are differentiated,
|
|
|
|
|
|
their coupling organization *is* the being’s consciousness, always tied to a will
|
|
|
|
|
|
to survive. Will is teleological (final), not causal; open-system attractors
|
|
|
|
|
|
reconcile final and causal description. Will enters the world as survival-will in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the form of system attractors. Consciousness forms evolve with division of labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
and hierarchical subordination of wills (cells → organism → herd → child).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Human consciousness appears only with world-picture representations; further
|
|
|
|
|
|
cultural evolution yields individuality-consciousness (not genetically innate).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Libet’s experiments measure coupling delay, not the absence of free will.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cultural communities are also “living beings” with survival-will; individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
ethics binds decisions to preservation of outer and inner existence (dignity).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result is a unitarian life principle: life that wants to live amid life that
|
|
|
|
|
|
wants to live (Schweitzer).

## Why selected for Soul Frame
|
|
|

|
Relevance:
|
2026-08-12 03:32:14 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Direct stress test of Soul Frame’s consciousness stance, Mind-as-model,
|
|
|
|
|
|
autonomy/self-maintenance, nested individuality, and cultural personhood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Risk:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deppert *identifies* Bewusstsein with survival-function coupling — high
|
|
|
|
|
|
collision with Soul Frame’s Mind/Body/consciousness split. Risk of absorbing
|
|
|
|
|
|
a teleological/materialist consciousness theory into Beinghood.
