    It is not the case that The Extensional model distributes consciousness across discrete successive phases without the continuous flowing now that Husserl and Stern both presuppose for genuine presence.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The binding problem for discrete phases remains: how do successive discrete states constitute *unified* experience without continuous integration?
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Husserl and Stern's flowing now captures the phenomenological fact that we experience duration itself, not mere sequence recognition between snapshots.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Discretization without mechanisms explaining cross-phase coherence risks reducing presence to an illusion of retrospective narration, not lived now.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Phenomenological presence may require only local temporal coherence within discrete phases, not metaphysical continuity of a flowing now.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Physics suggests time may be fundamentally discrete at Planck scales, making successive phases more ontologically fundamental than continuous flow.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Consciousness of temporal relations can be constructed from phase-to-phase information overlap without presupposing Husserlian retention.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
