Qualities interpenetrate so fully they are one single being, not law-bound parts

Evidence

Conversely if I poke my finger into a jar of jam, the sticky coldness of that jam is the revelation to my fingers of its sugary taste. The fluidity, the tepidity, the bluish color, the undulating restlessness of the water in a pool are given at one stroke, each quality through the others; and it is this total interpenetration which we call the this. This fact has been clearly shown by the experiences of painters, especially of Cézanne. Husserl is wrong in believing that a synthetic necessity unconditionally unites color and form; it is the form which is color and light. If the painter wants to vary any one of these factors, the others change as well, not because they are linked by some sort of law but because at bottom they are one and the same being. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 594

• QUESTION: Sartre’s ‘we eat the color of a cake’ synesthesia claim — is this meant literally as a phenomenology of perception or as rhetorical emphasis?
