  Husserl wrote that "all objects and references to the object are what they are for us solely by virtue of the acts of intentioning, which are essentially different from them and in which they are made present to us and confront us as intentioned units". Intentioned units, as we have seen, are the phenomenological contents formed within inner time. Considering the nature of the act that confers meaning as a whole — regardless of its physical or phonetic features — Husserl distinguishes between signifying intentions and filling intentions An intentional act, in fact, may be empty, in the sense that it cannot be made to refer to an object: its object, for example, may also be an illusory or contradictory entity like a 'round square'.

On the basis of this model we can affirm that right from the beginning there exists a correspondence between the process of artistic creation and the process of rational knowledge of the world. Both come into being with hyletic apprehension, that is to say, with the primigenial identification of intentioning I and intentioned thing and with the acquisition of a rational consciousness in carrying forward the cognitive process.
