"Making continuous judgments is a universal human condition necessity. This necessity begins with the formation of the Homo sapien brain, which provides the universal human condition with consciousness and subconsciousness. Consciousness enables us to exercise free will and possess the capacity to think, act, speak, and make choices, all for the purpose of ensuring our continued existence. Contiguous with this is subconsciousness. As implied, the operational subconscious functions below the level of consciousness, which means we do not use our subconscious to think or make conscious decisions."
"Subconsciousness is there to ensure our existence, and it provides the means of what can be described and/or referred to as "reactive action." When "reactive action" is initiated, the brain and body are holistically involved in an action (without any thinking taking place), for the purpose of the action being achieved, which ensures survival takes place. All of this means that, without any conscious effort on our part, our brain, mind, and body are always alert as a whole, without us needing to think about being alert until conscious alertness is required."
The Homo sapien brain generates both consciousness and subconsciousness, enabling continuous judgment necessary for survival. Consciousness supports free will, deliberate thought, speech, action, and choice directed toward continued existence. Subconsciousness operates below conscious awareness to provide reactive action that mobilizes brain and body holistically without conscious thinking when rapid response is needed. Conscious responses typically involve a roughly 0.2-second delay, which can be insufficient for some sudden stimuli. The ever-alert subconscious compensates by maintaining ongoing holistic readiness, allowing people to navigate dynamic environments, anticipate collisions, and react in ways that preserve personal safety and social coordination.
