Human consciousness and its purpose seems to me the growth of our frontal cortex which gives humans the ability to veto an act and think about e.g. social- design effects etc..
INHO, we must leave the vetoing free will to Benjamin Libet alike experiments.
Only by photon based observation (far and close by) and experiments, we become order in the world such as understanding of dark matter, dark energy, the multiverse big bang and a new interpretation of the second law. see anti Maxwell effect:

see: Democratic Free Will in the Instant Entangled Multiverse.

Conclusion: the purpose of the multiverse itself seems to be the growth of frontal cortexes all over the multiverse for better mutual understanding of the self and love instead of hate, but only supported by future high-tech energy-, food production and housing solutions.
The Q-FFF Rigid String Theory says: (1) There is only one CONSTRUCTIVE Topological and Resilient TRANSFORMING STRING (Axion/vacuum Dark Energy building block ), forming direct after the Black Hole Splitting Big Bang. so called Travelling TADPOLE Black Hole based Filaments, expanding the Cosmic Lyman Alpha Structure. (2) A Raspberry Entangled 12x Mirror Copy Multiverse is Postulated as base for uncertainty (ER=EPR) and Libet's FREE VETO WILL . SO We live inside an exploded BH
