Will, Schematization, Experience

Kant's Schematism 'temporalizes' his Categories, thereby facilitating their application to empirical cognitive processes, which he also temporalizes. Those Categories are, thus, presumably applicable to similarly temporalized 'spatial' representations. However, his temporalization of 'space' does not touch upon the Spatialization that, as has been previously explained here, first produces Space, and cannot touch upon it, because Spatialization and Temporalization are inverse processes. Accordingly, the Schematization of Will, the process of Spatialization in Experience, involves not a mediation, but a coordination of two independent principles, a coordination that is part fortuitous, part cultivable. Unlike the Kantian concept of 'experience', which is merely cognitive, the model of Experience being developed here entails Motility, and is truly binary, combining, without mediation, Will and Schematism, with neither, in principle, reducible to nor subordinate to the other.
