Consciousness and its being form an inseparable dyad

Evidence

This being comes into the world along with consciousness, at once in its heart and outside it; it is absolute transcendence in absolute immanence. It has no priority over consciousness, and consciousness has no priority over it. They form a dyad. Of course this being could not exist without the for-itself, but neither could the for-itself exist without it. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 364

Categorization

• XREF: The dyad of transcendence-in-immanence is exactly the structure Beauvoir redeploys in The Ethics of Ambiguity, where human ambiguity is defined as this same co-presence of transcendence and facticity. — connects to: The world’s instrumental organization depends partly on constituting consciousness; Consciousness is a duality that is unity, irreducible to the in-itself; Consciousness is a temporary fold in being, not separate from it — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café: Freedom,…, 739 (+2 more)
• DEFINE: Defines the reciprocal, non-prior relation of consciousness to its being — neither side precedes the other.
