Overarching Principles of Physical Reality

Here are some overarching principles that are required for an explanation of physical reality.

They involve life, consciousness and free will:

1.  Consciousness is the only observed phenomenon which observes itself, and does so from within itself.  It is a fundamental reality.

2.  Free will is neither deterministic nor random. It is its own thing, a fundamental reality.

3.  Life is not its chemical reactions.  Life governs those reactions.  Life is a fundamental reality.

4.  Physical reality has purpose and meaning.  It is designed and constructed around them.

5.  Regarding #2, randomness cannot operate except within nonrandom parameters.  For example, dice are designed and manufactured with intent.

I am persuaded that these five principles, and perhaps more, are the necessary foundation of discussing the basis of physical reality.

Of course I could be wrong.
