Russell (1961: 680):
According to Kant, the outer world causes only the matter of sensation, but our own mental apparatus orders this matter in space and time, and supplies the concepts by means of which we understand experience.

A qualification is that, from the SFL perspective, any talk or thought of the outer material domain and the inner mental domain is itself the construal of experience as meaning.
