 This model has a number of features, which are only briefly summarised here. A now box is postulated, distinguished by its distinctive multi-modal inputs and outputs. Information enters the now box and is retained for a brief time, the “specious present”. Dismissal from the now box cannot be instantaneous, but takes some time to “fade” or reduce in intensity. Thus the now contains new contents and fading, older contents; and a natural direction of time. The delay and comparisons of Reichardt detectors are enlisted in this process. The endurance or persistence of contents suggests an account of apparent motion, phi or beta, in which identical states close in time and space but not identical, are counted as identical. The important thing for our purposes is that the identity of different and changing temporal stages of a perceptual process (the perceived moving dot), gives the necessary premiss for inconsistency, as discussed earlier.
