It discards the obvious inevitable factors which are essential elements in the perception.

I am here, the leaf is there; and the event here and the event which is the life of the leaf there are both embedded in a totality of nature which is now, and within this totality there are other discriminated factors which it is irrelevant to mention.

Thus language habitually sets before the mind a misleading abstract of the indefinite complexity of the fact of sense-awareness.
What I now want to discuss is the special relation of the percipient event which is 'here' to the duration which is 'now.' This relation is a fact in nature, namely the mind is aware of nature as being with these two factors in this relation.
Within the short present duration the 'here' of the percipient event has a definite meaning of some sort.

This meaning of 'here' is the content of the special relation of the percipient event to its associated duration.

I will call this relation 'cogredience.' Accordingly I ask for a description of the character of the relation of cogredience.
