Understandably, the external world does not appear to be produced by fixed objects at this

developing stage. Neither space nor time is organized in groups or objective series, and neither
is causation spatialized or placed in things. In other words, the cosmos begins as a collection of
perceptual impressions focused on individual behavior. However, it is self-evident that to the
extent that this activity is undifferentiated from the things it constantly assimilates to itself, it
remains unaware of its subjectivity; the external world thus begins by being confused with the
sensations of a self-aware self, before the two factors become decoupled and organized
correlatively.
