In this regard dispute of scientists about symmetry or asymmetry of time in the Universe is problematic, so as presence at beingness of live consciousness does beingness by asymmetrical on a directivity of the information perceived by each consciousness.
Process of copying of information with the environmental and its processing is updated every instant on quality and amount of information, never repeating: consciousness – not the computer, consciousness is every moment of own time of the person or his "now", arbitrarily or purposefully changes, and it is impossible to recover these changes.
Purposefully or depending on a situation the human consciousness puts questions of myself and gives answers in thoughts, feelings and actions. Thus, this process goes sequentially and it is irreversible. Its mechanism – discrete, but in consciousness this discrete isn't manifested and the person consider that time leaks smoothly and continuously. All acts of the person, or his life are fit in this own time, or his “now”.
It is the most essential feature of interaction of the material objects with involvement of living beings, in difference, for example, from the symmetric interaction of lifeless material objects in case of which there is the continuous exchange of substance and energy: if one object (objects) loses substance and/or energy, another (others) – acquires according to conservation laws.
Consciousness in case of contact with any objects only copies information, i.e. those data from the material objects which are necessary to consciousness, without changing objects. At this the carrier of consciousness can not only contemplate objects, but also interact with them.
This process is one-sided on directivity for consciousness. It consists of three phases: selection of objects (it can be both conscious, and instinctive-reflex), from which information will follow; copying only of those data on objects which the consciousness can recognize and turn them, thereby, into information; processing and an assessment of the received data; then this sequence repeats. This process goes since the birth to death of the person, without interruption.
Information arrives both from environmental objects and the phenomena, and from the organs containing in the person, processes, database available to him. This process is the discrete, mostly automatic, but it seems to us as the continuous. He reminds the uninterrupted for perception of images on the screen resulting from movement of the film with the fixed frames with a certain speed.
The reality is manifested as a result of copying of information from it in two ways: on the one hand, information goes from feelings – from sight, hearing, taste, sense of smell, touch – the continuous, changing picture of everything that surrounds the person outside and inside; on the other hand, the information from memory, processed and understood earlier, which was being selected by consciousness each instant by results of perception of separate fragments of the reality is superimposed on this changing picture, for example, the person pays attention to another person and reminisces him; leads car, observing traffic rules; etc. That is the person thereby creates own time, or "now" in which he can live as wants and can.
Process doesn't interrupt even in a dream: consciousness, consuming information, operate in live object always, scooping information from within and outside of a body-carrier, leaving him only after death. Set of the live objects on the planet creating the unidirectional relocation of information copies is considerable, and this process goes on all available channels in the calculation on the total consumption. Significant information is registered and stored for the guaranteed access.
