Something's missing. Something like: contingency, contact, 
continuity, and proximity. I think these things are involved 
in the elements you list, but something concerning "close 
and far", and proximity, has to be there. Contingency 
denotes a certain "givenness" of the world. Disclosure *as 
such* (which is what we're looking for) has this 
"availability of the world", which I tried to grasp with 
"horizonality". I don't think Heidegger uses "horizon" much 
in this concept, but that background is obviously strongly 
associated and perhaps assumed. Disclosedness is like 
"horizon" with the difference that it seems to much more 
strongly conceptualize the "horizon-self" co-constitution. 
But that has to be there. Again, in this neutral status: 
disclosed, as a certain "givenness". Maybe?
