If we exchange "our" with "my" and "your" the social aspect disappears.
I suspect that not only the above mentioned, but all activities are to relate, manifest, orientate, affirm and confirm my, your, our existence.
According to Hindu philosophy existence is experienced as Maya and as Reality.
Maya is generally translated as illusion, but delusion is more proper, since Maya connotes a world of make-belief that enjoys great popularity – contrary to Reality, which is considered to be omnipresent, but only accessible to a few and unintelligible/invisible to Maya.
Give me some time to try to formulate a more reasonable answer to your question.

Re: Proposition (a)
One always pressuposes the other, to have 'my' pressuposes 'yours' and therefore 'ours'. You cannot have raw without first cooking.

Re: Proposition (a)
All our deeds, emotions, thoughts, creeds – and whatever else we are trying to relate ourselves with
This is all social and hence to do with power relations, will and desire, discourse.
When you say consciousness, are you talking about basic self-awareness, or of something more fundamental, something that is not only of our experience, but part of Being?
I assume that inter/extrapolation determines the interactivity of Micro & Macrocosm.
Microcosm connotes here individual consciousness and Macrocosm the inter/extrapolation-sphere of Microcosms.
In other words: individual consciousness is subject to "universal" consciousness - and vice versa.
(“A Thelemic View of consciousness” offers more lucid interpretations of this concept.)
