Time and space as forms of intuition must, as significant conscious contents, presuppose a synthesis. Otherwise, the only contents available to the mind would be pure intuitions given to the mind as 'pure wholes' and thus completely undifferentiated (perhaps given to the mind as just considered wholes, or as mere thought entities). Space must first be identified and differentiated by a synthesis - a synthesis that has an action that allows it to compare pure parts of space in a primitive fashion, prior to the mind being involved in comparing objects.
