The distinction in experience between world and self is imposed; it is an idea that has been acquired, but not voluntarily since that would assume the acquiescence of a prior self. Experience becomes explicit by means of certain formations that develop within itself and these come to include what we later call the human which is a nexus of individual and collective appearances. Integral to this is a sort of reflexive modelling of experience by way of representations and functioning, and this has come to reflect the totality in terms of the self/world distinction, a move which served as a gateway into a vast realm of possibilities which would otherwise not have arisen. The unfolding of this distinction, the necessity or contingency of each concomitant branching, could only, if at all, be demonstrated in its objective aspect, but this is not even the half of it. The self torn out of and placed against its world is simply endowed with intentions, beliefs, thoughts, intuition, awe and abjection, and with the extraordinary notion that it is responsible for the entire show.
