  The metaphor Bodhisattva describes a life system’s innate or inherent, because essential, capacity to solve (particular) problems.

The (particular) problem, namely failure to perform a particular operation @ best, is signalled to consciousness (i.e. to a system’s states monitoring function) as the various intensities of discomfort, i.e. distress, suffering, anguish and so on.

Since the bodhisattva function applies itself to resolving particular problems of @-less-than-best operation, the bodhisattva function was previously iconised as a series of particular bodhisattvas.

The bodhisattva function terminates when a particular problem has been solved. Problem resolution is (self-) ‘rewarded’ either with the ending of distress or with the samma-sambuddho (i.e. the Eureka) experience.
