What is present in the intellect without having come from outside is what belongs to it originally, its own essence

The passage

What is present in the intellect without having come from outside is precisely what belongs to it originally, its own essence.

Was nun aber, ohne von außen gekommen zu seyn, im Intellekt vorhanden ist, ist eben das ihm selbst ursprünglich Angehörige, sein eigenes Wesen.

Now what is present in the intellect without having come from outside is precisely what belongs to it originally, its own essence.

Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, Erster Band Anhang, Kritik der Kantischen Philosophie, the paragraph beginning »Die transscendentale Aesthetik ist ein so überaus verdienstvolles Werk« (ZA II 536–537)

The fifth sentence of the paragraph, premise 3 of the checked argument a-schopenhauer-cognitions-a-priori-are-the-intellects-own-forms: what is in the intellect and did not come from outside is the intellect's own, »das ihm selbst ursprünglich Angehörige«. The sentence states a disjunction's remainder, that what is in the intellect came from outside or belongs to it originally, without saying so, and the map does not add the disjunction as a premise; the conditional the form uses is the sentence's own.
