If phenomenology already incorporates structural incompleteness and horizon-structure, the 'unthought' is not an external other imposed upon it but an internal feature it explicitly theorizes.

Based on where you are in your exploration

Horizon-structure(another feature of phenomenology being referenced): In phenomenology, the idea that every experience has a background or 'horizon' of things we're aware of but not directly focusing on, like how you see the edges of a room even when looking at one wall.
Structural incompleteness(describing a key feature of phenomenology): The idea that something is fundamentally incomplete or unfinished by its very nature—it can never be fully whole or fully understood on its own.
The 'unthought'(what the statement argues is internal to phenomenology rather than external): Ideas, meanings, or aspects of experience that haven't been consciously thought about or articulated yet, but still exist and shape our understanding.
Theorizes(describing what phenomenology does with the 'unthought'): Develops a formal, systematic explanation or framework for understanding something.
internal feature(in philosophy of science): A characteristic that belongs naturally within a system or method itself, rather than coming from outside it.
phenomenology(Preliminary working definition offered as a starting point for understanding the discipline): The study of phenomena: what appears to us and its appearing
