This is just a mathematical model isn’t it? They haven’t actually measured anything?

No argument from me on that one.

put that into what’s anticipated, of, that there is a box of tricks for that (with a processing delay) that arrives at whatever, and you have an every day awareness experience of its internal workings.

i’d see things from a mind experiences something of its workings first, external world second. Just as a joke is funny because of the mental gymnastics done, or some view is beautiful.

so, if you anticipate processing required, this is a conscious perception that precedes whatever being taken in.

involving peceptions maybe about the perceptual apparatus

.05 – .4 seconds?

50 milliseconds — cycle time for the lowest audible tone, 20 Hz
5 to 80 milliseconds — typical latency for a broadband internet connection (important for playing online games)
150 milliseconds — recommended maximum time delay for telephone service
200 milliseconds — the time it takes the human brain to recognize emotion in facial expressions
300 to 400 milliseconds — the time for the human eye to blink
