Principles of possible experience applied beyond it turn their object into appearance and declare all practical extension of reason impossible

The passage

If principles that reach only to objects of possible experience are applied to what cannot be an object of experience, they actually always transform it into appearance and so declare all practical extension of pure reason impossible.

B xxx: such principles, applied to what cannot be an object of experience, "wirklich dieses jederzeit in Erscheinung verwandeln und so alle praktische Erweiterung der reinen Vernunft für unmöglich erklären" (AA 3:19.03–05). The second half of the "weil" clause. What the practical extension consists in is named in the same sentence: assuming God, freedom and immortality for the necessary practical use of reason (3:18.33–35).
