Yes, and this is actually the sort of conclusion I am drawing. If the transcendental subject or ego is a fiction, then so, in a way, is the appearance-reality distinction.
But the "self" and the appearance-reality distinction are necessary for practical life, and therefore not much dwelt upon.
If nature can only exist in the full sense
as the consciousness of qualia under a system of causality and unity, then consciousness, reality, and causality are one. The real is rational, for only the conscious (structure qualia) is the
human real (and the
only real), and human consciousness is structured for causality and unity.
The mind-matter distinction becomes absurd, in a logical sense, no matter how necessary for practical life.

Is it possible to reduce the transcendental analytic to one function? that of unity?
Perhaps "causality" is nothing but what Hume suggested it was, induction? And perhaps induction is nothing but the unity function, synthesizing memory into "causal concept" which is actually based on coherence, or unity.
This single concept, unificiation or synthesis, possibly explains the generation of logic, math, and concept. Perhaps this is what was meant by "nous."
