It seems like Kantian/Heideggerian intuition.

Intuition functions in a certain way - and
uses the senses as an instrument.

There is intuition, as there is thinking -
intuitus vel conceptus, as Heidegger says.

Not unlike Heidegger's modes of being.
BTW, I completely agree with Jud that Being
is an ontological concept.
There is no Being-of-an-X as such. Being of
an X as such is Nothing, following Heidegger.
Being-as-such is mere ontotheology.
The question remains what the status is of
the undifferentiated X that is "registered",
to borrow Jud's term.
Heidegger maintains that it is Nothing but
not a nihil absolutum.
