The present snaps into a past and a present when the 'here' of cogredience loses its single determinate meaning.

-
The correlation of the various momentary spaces of one time-system is achieved by the relation of cogredience.
The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Alfred North Whitehead 1904
-
When the bulk of the events perceived are cogredient in a duration other than that of the percipient event, the percipience may include a double consciousness of cogredience, namely the consciousness of the whole within which the observer in the train is

-
This peculiar relation is the relation of cogredience between the percipient event and the duration.
The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Alfred North Whitehead 1904
-
Namely, amid the alternative time-systems which nature offers there will be one with a duration giving the best average of cogredience for all the subordinate parts of the percipient event.
The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Alfred North Whitehead 1904
-
Thus in perceptions under certain circumstances the events discriminated assert their own relations of cogredience.

-
This assertion of cogredience is peculiarly evident when the duration to which the perceived event is cogredient is the same as the duration which is the present whole of nature -- in other words, when the event and the percipient event are both cogredient to the same duration.
The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Alfred North Whitehead 1904
-
Thus cogredience has nothing to do with any biological character of the event which is related by it to the associated duration.

djilk commented on the word cogredience
As best I can tell this is a neologism coined by Alfred North Whitehead; but it did not gain traction, probably because the theory in which it is used also did not.

Takuscanscan commented on the word cogredience
"Cogredience means the identity of perceived space through time" "In present-day physics this space-time structure is still used to co-ordinte measurements. It is represented by two perpendicular axes. One axis is the time axis, the other axis represents the three dimensions of space. In Whitehead terminology such a structure is called cogredient" (Chris von Haeften. Metaphysics of Extensive Time.)
