Can objects exist independently of cognition, or the mind level? Is that what you mean? Aren't objects composed of ideas? If gravity for instance occurs independently of cognition, than it also exists above sense-perception. Or, can things beyond human thoughts and speech be recognized as objective at all?
The falling apple could just as well be an idea (subject level).
