Here is the formal argument: Those things which are inherently restricted to a certain nature do not depend on anything else with respect to that [nature], as [in the case of] space with respect to incorporeality; and these disputed cognitions and other [means of knowledge] are inherently restricted to being valid means of knowledge - thus [this is] the apprehension of something contradictory to the pervader.
