Is your "I" something other than a persistent narrative of memory?
Any memory that enters the conscious experience needs to become one of the activities inside a globe in the above argument and as such is covered in that analysis.
“I” is the single thing that is observing the tree. What has been demonstrated is from instant to instant all of the activities (Nerve impulses etc) taken to be creating the conscious experience have absolutely no connection to each other. This is as a nerve impulse must complete before it can influence some activity to its future.
While the above argument does not use special relativity (SR), it is a fact (from SR) that simultaneous events cannot have a connection or create anything that has energy. The essential nature of “I” is that it must bring together simultaneous event that make up the “U” or the tree. There is nothing physical that can do that.
