| The theory relies on what James takes to be the experienced relations of sensible compresence and sensible continuity. |
| If knowledge is a relation by compresence, this knowledge cannot know the terms related, unless it transcends them. |
| But this is difficult to square with Maurin's claim that compresence is external to its terms. |
| It may be observed in passing that togetherness in time or compresence in it includes both simultaneity and succession. |
| Each stage of the regress depends on the coherence of a compresence bundle at the next stage, ad infinitum. |
| The unity of the compresent experiences is independently assured by their relation of sensible compresence. |
