I 306 Problem/Chalmers: our conscious experiences are too holistic to be the sum of micro-states in the information space. This is the problem of the ratio of fine-grained to coarse-grained events (Sellars, 1965)(1). Problem: how can our experiences be so supple if they consist of building blocks of this kind? We leave the problem open. >Experience, >Experiences/Chalmers. 1. W. Sellars, The identity apporoach to the mind.-body problem.
