The Timing Belt of Subjectivity

This is a fairly technical (Lacanian; topological) thesis about how we may combine three of Lacan's "squares": the R-Schema, the L-Schema, and the Fundamental Polygon of the Torus. Bone up on these diagrams using Lacan's Seminars II (the L-schema), "On a Question Prior to Any Possible Treatment of Psychosis" (1959, included in the Écrits), or XIV for the fundamental polygon of the torus. You won't get much help in the video. What justifies these overlays is the idea of a space of rotation, where a vector, to return to its origins, must complete a 4π circuit that reinters the sphere at the precise moment it seems to leave it. Next trip? On the the formula for metaphor to see what can be done there! Narrated by AI Revoicer, James.

I wonder what Lacan would say about autism as one possible line of escape-flight, a point of eruption-caption from perspectival views-relations. i think D & G would call it a drawing, as opposed to a tracing. probably there are infinitely many possibilities to escape. maybe eastern meditation is one we figured out thousands of years ago. but it seems like duplicity and/or multiplicity presuppose perspective(the looping-twisting must continue) where autism seems like the opposite, almost like the difference between uni- and bivocity. maybe a', where all others are partial, or second derivatives or orders. is autism an untwisting? a double articulation is the Gordian knot was cut by a neuro-divergent?

Are you familiar with Erin Manning? She takes a schizoanalytic approach to what she calls Autistic Perception to affirm neurodiverse modes of knowledge production. She has an essay floating around online called 'Not at a Distance, On Touch, Synaesthesia, and other ways of knowing' that is a great place to start, but I also recommend her books The Minor Gesture and For a Pragmatics of the Useless

Maybe autism is related to chirality; an enantiomorphism of the symbolic that results in an eversion of the imaginary.

"we can't observe it but we can map it" reminds me of "desire can be articulated but is not articulable".

Would this be similar to Zizeks idea of unorientable spaces as the premiere sight of material reality?

Meaning that there is a trancendental real
