If the particularity of an individual consciousness is a choice made over a class of all possible equivalent consciousnesses, say of your stream of experience over all possible human streams, a determination of a determinable, then it embodies a certain information content. Your sense, born of your idea of freedom and open-endedness, is that your information content is infinite, in potential if not in realisation. And this again represents your ability to make choices within an unbounded class or manifold. You are willing to cede that others are merely unpredictable, and hence deserving of compassion but that your own power of distinction is entirely original.
