Thought reflects on objects. Can it stand alone? Can it define itself? We actually never had a point we can recall when this ever occured. Objectless thought. Still it seems to me you are preposing a beginning such as this.
I'm not proposing anything rather I'm making observations. Any attempt to define thought, imo, is as fruitless as attempting to define awareness or consciousness. I'm willing to accept those notions even so. It seems to me we must have some point of acceptance of terms, even though vague, in order to see what to me is a truth as expressed by Descartes.
