The world as opposed to the self in every turn of thought is still the world as it appears. It is and can only ever be 'my world'. This would be the most complete solipsism except that the self also is just a nexus of appearances in the world. The world simply appears, but the self is the action of the thought that 'it appears to me'. It appears out of the void, and he is one of the things that appear in it, or would be if he ever fully appeared. He is however, only inferred, not from pure thought, or the thought-act, but from opposition. Polarity, friction, struggle, conflict, and their ephemeral resolutions, these introduce an asymmetry and directedness into experience out of which the vital error of transcendence is born.
