Present

1. The time period (of varying duration) in which one subjectively experiences one’s life taking place.
2. The duration that separates the perception of a ’cause’ from the perception of its ‘effect’.
3. The duration that a given state of mind lasts.

(Note that these are definitions of the psychological Present. The Present in physics is the duration that separates the Past from the Future (sometimes referred to as Planck Time, which is 5.39 × 10 ⁻⁴⁴ of a second). It is a tiny fraction of a second in which no neurological or psychological event can be completed, thus making the Present in physics irrelevant to a discussion about anything that can be experienced in consciousness).
