    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Retentional models have a distinct advantage over Extensional models in accommodating temporal illusions such as the flash-lag effect and the phi-phenomenon.

    If the extensional model revises rather than simultaneously holds conflicting contents, P3's claim of forced simultaneous contradiction is false, and the alleged advantage of retentional models dissolves.

    Key Terms

    Extensional model(Contrasted with Retentional models; said to struggle with temporal illusions involving apparent retro-active causation.)
    A theory of time consciousness on which each stimulus is represented exactly once, so conflicting perceptual data about the same moment t produces contradictory experiences.
    P3(as referenced in formal logic or philosophical argumentation)
    A specific rule or principle (probably the third one in a list) being discussed in the larger argument.
    Retentional models(in philosophy of time and perception)
    A theory about how our brains hold onto memories of things we just perceived a moment ago, so we can experience events as connected over a short stretch of time rather than isolated snapshots.
    conflicting contents(as used in philosophy of mind)
    Different pieces of information or experiences that contradict each other or cannot both be true at the same time.

    simultaneous contradiction(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    When something is claimed to be two opposite things at the exact same time (like being both completely red and completely blue at once), which seems logically impossible.
