I was nodding along to everything until they got to the 4th and 5th axioms:
> Integration: ... seeing a blue book is irreducible to seeing a book without the color blue, plus the color blue without the book
What? Why is this taken as a given? This is not at all evident. You could show someone a blue book and then ask them to imagine that same book, but with a red cover instead, and many people would feel perfectly comfortable doing this, having some experience close to actually seeing that red book. If that doesn't straight-up prove this axiom wrong (I personally think it does), then it at least shows that this axiom is not clearly "evident".
> Exclusion: my experience flows at a particular speed—each experience encompassing say a hundred milliseconds or so
Have these people never been bored? Have they never heard of how "time slows down" during a car crash? This is not only non-evident, it's another one that seem patently false if you actually talk to any human beings about their own experiences.
