Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)

Jñāpyajñāpaka (ज्ञाप्यज्ञापक) refers to the “(relation between the) knowing subject and the object of knowledge”, according to Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.6.—Accordingly, “[...] Only [the following] could [still] be objected: if these [objects] did not exist after as well as before [their] being manifest, [then] the very fact that they are manifest would be causeless, and [under such conditions,] the relation of cause and effect and the relation between the knowing subject and the object of knowledge (jñāpyajñāpaka-bhāva) would not be possible”.
