The consistency of the world is a result of the notions of time, space and causality, the two former being the conditions for the latter which does the 'heavy lifting'. These ideas are so natural to you that they seem to belong in the world, to be of the world, whereas the world of in fact of them. They aren't just ideas in the same sense as other ideas which come and go in the mind, but are the very substance of what is taken to be mind as if that is a separate thing from world. A similar but faster 'always already' applies to the realm of concepts themselves, not causality but implication, folded-togetherness, and this is what makes the knower-in-time out of the timeless knowings in experiencing, including the one whose recorded musing this purports to be.
