For you describe the universal 'cowness' etc. as entirely devoid of color, shape and letter-forms, yet the cognition is experienced as being accompanied by manifestations of color etc. - so how could its basis be something devoid of color etc.? For it is not reasonable for a cognition of one form to have something of a completely different form as its basis, as [this would lead to] unwanted consequences.
