    The successive phases of the specious present in the Extensional model form a unified ensemble that conforms to Stern's conception of a presence-time.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Stern held that experiences unfolding over an interval of time can form a unified and complex act of consciousness regardless of the non-simultaneity of individual parts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The successive phases of the specious present depicted in the Extensional model do form a unified ensemble.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Stern's presence-time requires phenomenological unity grounded in intentional acts, not merely structural co-presence of temporal phases.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The Extensional model's successive phases are unified by causal-retentional relations, not by a single encompassing intentional act.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A unity achieved through retention differs fundamentally from Stern's unified act, making the conformity claim a category error.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    ?
    • 1.Husserl's critique of Stern establishes that genuine temporal unity requires the primal impression-retention-protention structure, not mere phase succession.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The Extensional model distributes consciousness across discrete successive phases without the continuous flowing now that Husserl and Stern both presuppose for genuine presence.

    As we saw in §2.5, in characterizing his presence-time, Stern held that experiences unfolding over an interval of time can “form a unified and complex act of consciousness regardless of the non-simultaneity of individual parts.” Since the successive phases of the specious present depicted in Figure 5 do form a unified ensemble, they clearly conform to Stern’s conception of a presence-time. James sometimes referred to the specious present a duration-block, which he characterized thus: ‘We do not
