The problem of the Absent
Determinant emanates from the human condition of limited perception
and understanding concerning the origins of the universe, its size, weight
and mass, the nature of its possible ending, or the reason, purpose and
meaning for the existence of everything that is contained within it, to include
the human presence. This problem is manifested such that humankind does
not know what the sphere of the planetary environment is, what it is for, when
it began or when it will end, why the universe was created, or even if it began
at all, but rather existed always. Thus it could be said that all human consciousness is subjective, meaning that since there is no sure way
to ascertain what anything is, then there is no certain manner in which
humankind should be said to conduct itself.
Human conduct is proscribed by what is termed the concept of
Prohibitive
Consequence which refers to physical prohibitions or what is physically impossible or detrimental to human well-being. This means things like walking
on water, moving mountains without machines, being in two places at once or breathing under water. Thus conduct toward or treatment of things is mandated in relation to the character, composition and construction of entities, in terms
of what it is possible to do. Another physical form of prohibition is defined by the
concept of Necessity and Subsistence, wherein transformation or destruction is limited to only what is
necessary for simple existence, which is applicable to every animal species except the human. Prohibitions are also conceptual, or what cannot be done by the reasonable certainty of foreseen future states, which are known or can be predicted to be deadly or injurious to the extent that they prohibit undertaking. For instance if it could be foreseen that swimming the flood swollen river may
well end in drowning. The prediction of impossible or harmful outcome should prohibit related action for a reasonable person.
