ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the character of one's experience from moment to moment within their streams of consciousness. If the pulse theory is true, the streams of consciousness are intermingled. The short survey of the phenomenological data suggests that any adequate account of the temporal features of experience must accommodate two facts: one's experience of change is as direct and immediate as their experience of colour or shape; and their experiences possess the feature of phenomenal flow. C. D. Broad and Husserl fill out the details in different ways, but the basics remain the same. Phenomenal bonding is secured by distinct acts of awareness apprehending the same items of content. As for Dynamic Block models, the overlap theory is quite compatible with streams of consciousness growing along with the rest of reality in an incremental fashion.
