"In the Rules Descartes ties abstraction to intuition. The two main characteristics of intellectual intuition are first, the purely intellectual nature of the operation itself and, second, the absolute certainty and assurance that accompanies it. Thus, an intuition is an insight into necessary connections between the two simple ideas or two elements of an idea."
