Morton on "withdrawn" objects

 
Morton has a twist (37) on the standard OOO claim that objects have a "withdrawn" concept
 
"Withdrawn," he suggests, "doesn't mean empirically shrunken back or moving behind; it means--and this is why I now sometimes say 'open' instead of 'withdrawn'--so in your face you can't see it"
