Inner, Outer, Effort

As itself an inner self-awareness, Proprioception does not fill what Schopenhauer calls the "abyss" between 'inner' and 'outer', but it helps locate it more precisely.  For, in the integrative imaging of physiological processes, that Proprioception effects, its manifold content is given as already spatially differentiated, e. g. an extending of a toe is at a distance from an ocular rolling.  This differentiation accordingly indicates that these processes are already 'outer'.  Indeed, further examination reveals an abyss that precedes these motions--the discontinuity between a decision to act and the subsequent initial effort.  This discontinuity is the abyss, i. e. the space, that Schopenhauer obscures when he, as has been previously discussed, reduces 'I can try to do' to 'I can do'.
