Key Terms

Bounded middle content(as used in philosophy of time and perception): Broad's idea that at any moment, consciousness only holds a limited, finite amount of the immediate past—not an unlimited stretch of history.
Broad(as a reference to a historical philosopher who critiqued McTaggart): Charlie Dunbar Broad was a British philosopher known for analyzing other philosophers' arguments carefully and pointing out problems with their ideas, including McTaggart's theory of time.
Intersection D(as used in formal philosophy of time): A technical boundary or meeting point being discussed; in this context, it marks the limit of shared content between different moments of experience.
Phase(describing a small slice of time within an experience): A particular moment or stage in a continuous process, like one moment in an unfolding sound.

Retention(Husserl's phenomenology of internal time-consciousness; central to Derrida's argument in Voice and Phenomenon)

Husserl's term for the primary memory of the just-past that is folded back into present perception; paradoxically classified by Husserl as both a kind of perception (included in the present) and a kind of non-perception (different from the strict now).

If retention grants every phase access to earlier content beyond the intersection D, the 'largest stretch apprehended by every phase' expands beyond Broad's bounded middle content.
