ONT Re: Manifolds Of Sensuous Impressions (MOSI's)

| Let us say no more then about this objection, but enlarge our thesis, thus:
| If there be in the universe a 'q' other than the 'q' in the feeling,
| the latter may have acquaintance with an entity ejective to itself;
| an acquaintance moreover, which, as mere acquaintance, it would be
| hard to imagine susceptible either of improvement or increase,
| being in its way complete;  and which would oblige us (so long
| as we refuse not to call acquaintance knowledge) to say not
| only that the feeling is cognitive, but that all qualities
| of feeling, 'so long as there is anything outside of them
| which they resemble', are feelings 'of' qualities of
| existence, and perceptions of outward fact.

| We use transversality as a sufficient condition under which the fiber product
| of two morphisms exists.  We recall that in any category, the 'fiber product'
| of two morphisms f : X -> Z and g : Y -> Z over Z consists of an object P
| and two morphisms
|
| g_1 : P -> X   and   g_2 : P -> Y
|
| such that f o g_1  =  g o g_2, and satisfying the universal mapping property:
|
| Given an object S and two morphisms
|
| u_1 : S -> X   and   u_2 : S -> Y
|
| such that f o u_1  =  g o u_2, there exists a unique morphism u : S -> P
| making the following diagram commutative:
|
|             S
|             o
|            /|\
|           / | \
|          /  |  \
|     u_1 /   u   \ u_2
|        /    |    \
|       /     |     \
|      v      v      v
|   X o<------P------>o Y
|      \  g_1   g_2  /
|       \           /
|        \         /
|      f  \       /  g
|          \     /
|           \   /
|            v v
|             o
|             Z
|
| The triple (P, g_1, g_2) is uniquely determined,
| up to a unique isomorphism (in the obvious sense),
| and P is also denoted by X x_Z Y.
