Who is it that experiences? Everything objective is limited, limited by other objects and by the very experiencing of it, which experiencing cannot be the same as the experienced. The same objective reality can indeed belong to different experiencings, but objects differ in the degree to which this is possible. An 'outer' object is one that can be experienced by other subjects de facto and de jure, while an 'inner' one can only be experienced by the one subject, although in different ways, in different temporal adumbrations for example, including repetition. The closer the object is drawn to the experiencer the fewer the alternate modes available, so that its very objectivity becomes strained and is inferred to collapse at the limit. What you have been calling the experiencing is actually a kind of inner objectivity; when you turn attention away from the object and towards the experiencing of the object you are refocusing on a nearer level of objectivity. The subject here is understood to be only a virtual point, an inference from the internal relations of different kinds of experiencing, and a pillar of the theory of experiencing - which may be all or part of what is called theory of mind. Through interaction with other subjects not only do your experiences change but your own deep experience of experiencing may also be changed, and there is no a priori limit to such change. This is taken to confirm the otherness of other minds, and indeed it also confirms the otherness of your 'own' mind. Experience is the deployment of mind and the concomitant metaphysics including the nature and limitation of the subject(s) of experience arises from the settings of that mind.
