[1]t Nevertheless,taking this circuit completely into account
  for doing what it's good for, once you get BEYOND this fast
  reaction layer...

  ... then you're dealing with "everything is in the past".
  [2]Ying-Kit Yeung

  I think this is what [3]James Ragsdale is referring to, more
  than the fast systems. Once these circuits do their job,
  conscious awareness is available to us - a different circuit -
  and _that_ is when we're interpreting everything with regards to
  the past and only considering it "the present" as a matter of
  habit perhaps but it's still not the present.[4]opto
