According to JA Wheeler we only need enough duration at any given
instant to measure one bit. But in any case, all that is happening
in your brain is happening right now. I suspect there is an
illusion of an "extended present" being created, one pigeonhole at
a time (let me check with Dan Dennett... yes, looks like there is :)
But why "illusion"? If we're taking consciousness as fundamental
But comp asks to not take consciousness as fundamental or primitive.
then we should take the "extended present" as part of it; and in
that case the extension allows them to overlap and hence provide a
time dimension.
OK.
If we're not taking consciousness as fundamental then we need to
explain the "extended present".
