Experience as the intersection, staged in the nody, of an objective reality with a subjective one. Both sides are imperfectly known, but on the subjective side this is felt as a kind of projective incompleteness, as if an element of a story which will only be understood when completed. Against this elaborate temporal construction consider the perfect completeness in the moment which includes the feeling of incompleteness but surrenders all need for resolution, every metaphysical declension of l'esprit de l'escalier.
