Here it seems that Spinoza is describing how knowing and being
operate: they correspond completely. It's axiomatic. Left unclear is
whether this is Knowing and Being or whether this is a function of the
relationship of the attributes of thought and extension. However, it's
not necessary to take a decision, as this axiom may operate
fundamentally for both areas. (As for whether the iterations of an idea
of an idea is a thing, it may be so in the same sense of a thing of a
thing ad infinitum.)
Idea vera debet cum suo ideato convenire.
Translated as,
A true idea must agree with its object.
