You begin with near infinite possibilities which progressively narrow as choices, free and forced are made, but oddly the field of possibilities remains unchanged, it only takes on a different nature, rotating out of alignment with time and into a kind of synchrony. If consciousness is opposed to world, then what used to be taken as belonging to consciousness is deposited into the world leaving only something akin to electric current, the very life of any system, but in itself entirely without any properties outside of its interactions.
