ABSTRACT
Since you cannot see what will happen in the future in
what place at what time, information on the future can be obtained only by
"imagination". Imagination makes images, which have no logical order. You can
become "conscious" of anything as an image at any time. Therefore it is
difficult to be "conscious" of it by words, namely to put in order. We usually
try to explain "consciousness" by words, but I tried to show the random image
consciousness and the consciousness arranged on the time system by words, in the form of
complex number by making them correspond to "imaginary number i" and "real
number r" on Gauss plane respectively. By this process, I think, the role of
"idea formation" and "physical thinking in Zen" is elucidated and a
hint is given for the mathematical positioning of "consciousness after death"
indicated as -r.
Key words : imaginary munber
