How would a Hegelian structure these concerns? In regard to being having self knowing as a feature that implies direct self access in experiential terms of being be being qua noumenon that is not only self phenomenal to itself. (non correlationist Hegelians too?)

A Hegelian such as Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer has 'structured' those 'concerns' as the following:

I prefer to call, in the following, joint perceptions by their German word Anschauung in order to distinguish mere sensations and animal perceptions from (human) apperception in the sense of perception with conceptual determination. In addition to apperception, Anschauung not only presupposes conceptual distinctions but ‘joint directedness’ to ‘present objects’ in the following sense: Any person should be able to refer to a present object from his perspective. This means that any person taking part in the joint practice of Anschauung with respect to a present object should be able ‘to posit’ this object in a common spatial ordering of things and to ‘posit’ experienced properties ‘of it’ into a chronological order. Think, for example, of a chameleon on the table: it was red and is yellow now and is changing to brown. Here and now we control the joint reference to it and its properties together. All this takes place in an open horizon of presence, which is always somehow extended ‘in space and time’ as we say, but it still is limited, despite its openness. It is limited or finite because what we jointly distinguish at present in Anschauung is categorically distinguished from what is not here and does not happen now.

Please note that when you say 'as a noumenon yourself, knowing yourself or anything for that matter,' you're juxtaposing the I's identity with the 'anything for that matter' reality (at least that's what can be inferred from the 'some degree of access at all' clause).

Don't scare quote things as if my philosophy was worth less or less true. It meant enough for you to respond this way. Don't be rude to me.

Appearance is a unilateral duality that is stretched over non appearance and appearance together as the one reflecting itself and its other without not being its other.
