If categories are genuinely ontologically prior to both subject and object, we face a vicious regress: we need further cognitive access to those superior principles, requiring yet another grounding.

Cognitive access(as something humans lack regarding God's reasons): The ability of your mind to reach, understand, or be aware of something; having the mental capacity to grasp an idea.
categories(Kantian epistemology): The most basic concepts of objects in general, which are unavoidably employed whenever we think about anything whatsoever
grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.): A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.
ontologically prior(describing the relationship between thinking and representation): More fundamental or basic in terms of what actually exists; something that has to exist before or independently of something else.
