Nevermind. I got part (b) and part (c) confused. Example of temporal, spatial or logical inconsistencies (possible but not actual) forthcoming.
I gave 3. (The existence of truly random phenomenon, objective value, or a dual component to consciousness would all be inconsistent with X.) Did you even read my comment? I realize it was really long..
First example:
I leave the keys to my office on the counter, and realize this when I get to work. Damn, I need my keys! Maybe I left them in my car. Phew, there they are. I get home after work and there are my keys on the counter, just where I left them. So how did I get in my office? Well, shrug, I did.
More whimsical example:
Your name is Mario and it's your job to save the princess. You've got 323 coins and then you see: a black pixel.
