Nor is there negative concomitance. For when these cognitions of "being" etc. do not arise, one cannot say that their non-existence is caused by the absence of the universal, because eternal [entities] are always present, making [their] absence impossible. Therefore there is also no negative concomitance of these [cognitions] with that [universal].
