Consciousness Cannot Go Through the Same State Twice
It is with our entire past ... that we desire, will and act ... from this survival of the past it follows that consciousness cannot go through the same state twice. The circumstances may still be the same, but they will act no longer on the same person ... that is why our duration is irreversible.
Henri Bergson, Creative Evolution (2007-08-31)
Notes
The very act of going through a state it has been through before will alter the experience by the previous experience.
