Long descriptions for some figures inThe Metaphysics of Causation
Figure 1 description
Early preemption neuron diagram; Five labeled circles representingneurons in three columns with the first column having timet1 below it, the second hast2 below it, and the thirdhast3 below it. The five neurons are arranged in thecolumns:
