But there was some single moment when each sense arrived by itself. Hmmm.
Experience must precede categorization. If you have only one experience you put it in one bucket, one category – which is all you have. As more experiences are, er… um… experienced, then categories are developed to organize them.
It is much like creating an affinity diagram. Numerous ideas (or experiences) are generated without regard to categories, since none have been created yet. In fact, we are told to purposely repress categorization until all “experiences” are generated. THEN we label the categories and place the “experiences” within them. It seems in life that categories are spontaneously developed as experiences dictate the need.
For instance, right now you have just picked a category to place me in.
But since I know little of Lewis and less of "Mind And The World Order", I should not speak of (or categorize) that which I have not experienced.
