1is made less by the exercise of corporal physiolo- gy than by signifying decision. That is why also to say that the signifier is without qualities, is an approach whose radicalism is much too rapid. Because it is easy to see that the range of signifiers imposed on us is easily situated in this perspective; they spread over the range of a arrangement that ceaselessly tests their qua- lities. It is not at all the same thing if I say: "This is a man" or "this is a zozo". It is nevertheless the same person who is designated. To say then that the signifier is without qualities is at the same time rapid and dispu- table. But there is more, which is of greater interest to us. It is always this question of the incommensurability between the signifier and the letter, between the one, because indeed that

2(Yonah. 2:11). ¶ Since that voice has risen from among the graves, all the graves vomited out the dead that were in them. This is the meaning of "and cast out the shades of the dead (Heb. refaim also 'healed')." What is meant by "cast out"? IT MEANS THAT it will vomit them out. What are refaim? They are those who received healing, WERE HEALED AND BECAME like they were before their, and the bones were healed together. These are called refaim. ¶ And if you ask why it is written: "the shades of the dead shall not rise" (Yeshayah 26:14), HE ANSWERS: surely all the inhabitants of the world will heal by themselves in the cemetery, but some will resurrect and some will not, NAMELY, THOSE WHO DID NOT BELIEVE IN RESURRECTION. Concerning this the

3and he loves Lili. The most important one is not the one that is formulated, because any word is first of all the sign of a need of love, of an appeal. But he wants all the same something, to drink, at least in the first phase. Therefore things happen very differently in the dream and in reality at the level of language. In reality the thirst is expressed to (35a) obtain satisfaction, in the dream it is not expressed and far from being satisfied it awakens other thirsts which for their part are asleep during the day. ¶ In Philip's case one can say then that the language of the night before shows certain splits. No doubt it is lacunary, like his night-time language, since it allows there to appear rather frequently a formula stripped of meaning like poord‟jeli. ¶ Why then in Philip's case does the original pressure, instead of being normally

It is a theoretical partiality: it is when we consider things from a certain angle, when we start, for example, talking about instinctual maturation, as if this were all that were in question. We give ourselves over then to these extraordinary ratiocinations bordering on moralising sermons which are so likely to inspire mistrust and withdrawal! To bring in, without anything else, a normal notion of anything at all that has any relationship whatsoever with our praxis, while precisely what we discover in it, is the degree to

I am not saying that Miller does not do it but he does so by blocking immediately the non-identical to itself with the number zero.” ¶ I wonder whether, now that I highlight this text before him, Serge Leclaire will not himself realise this striking lapse through which he imputes to me what I myself announced from Frege. ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>Crucial Problems 2.6.1965 XXI 283 Why is it necessary that at the place where the name of Frege is required it is mine which comes into position itself while my concern precisely was to manifest in Frege, the apparition of the non-identical to itself in which I said there consisted the suturing point of Frege‟s discourse. ¶ Why this confusion and why does Serge Leclaire want the archeologician to be a

It is true that according to a certain fashion of articulating the transference itself, it is hard to see in what order of reference one could find the indication of the solution. I shall speak to you then, to begin my discourse the next time, about silence, after I have spoken to you about the scream. ¶ But to end today on something which, God knows, after such a testing session may distract you so that you may take away something amusing, I am going to tell you a story which

8say clearly that one and the other, Marie-Chantal and Daddy's boy at the wheel of his little car, (15) would be quite simply enveloped in this organised world like that by the father if there were not precisely the signifier father, which makes it permissible, as I might say, to extricate oneself from it in order to imagine oneself, and even to succeed in getting up his nose. Which is what is expressed by saying that he or she introjects on this occasion the paternal image. ¶ Is this not also to say that it is the instrument thanks to which the two personages, masculine and feminine can extroject themselves for their part from the objective situation? Introjection, in short, is that, to organise oneself subjectively in such a way that the father, in effect, under the form of the not too cross ego-ideal,

9path along which the joke will pass, the thing that fixes the inhibition somewhere, precisely to free up the pathway along which the witty word is going to pass. ¶ Here then more or less is how things can be schematised. The pathway that is traced from a word that is here condensed in a message, that is addressed here to the Other, a message whose incompleteness, whose gaps, whose defects are authenticated by the Other as a joke, but in this way restoring essentially to the subject himself, and constituting the indispensable complement for the subject of the desire proper to the joke. ¶ Here then is the schema that we habitually use and here is the Other, here at gamma the message, the I here, the metonymical object. But if the Other is indispensable for us - these are of course points that have already been made and that I am going to take as known - if the

10say, more than once confronting, referring to this something which we must grasp there at the moment of his life, often at the turning point at the awakening of puberty, when he encounters its sign, the subject is then confronted with something which, as such, is of the same order as what we have evoked above: does desire find itself legitimated, sanctioned by something else, and in a certain fashion already what appears here in a flash ……. itself in the phenomenology in which the subject expresses it, the phenomenology in which he expresses it, can be assumed under the following formula: does the subject have or not have the absolute weapon? Because if he does not have the absolute weapon, he is going to find himself drawn into a series of identifications, of alibis, of games of hide-and-seek which I repeat - we cannot develop its dichotomies here any further - can go very far.

In the same way I thought that the sciences contained in books (such of them at least as are made up of probable reasonings, without demonstrations), composed as they are of the opinions of many different individuals massed together, are farther removed from truth than the simple inferences which a man of good sense using his natural and unprejudiced judgment draws respecting the matters of his experience. And because we have all to pass through a state of infancy to manhood, and have been of necessity, for a length of time, governed by our desires and preceptors (whose dictates were frequently conflicting, while neither perhaps always counseled us for the best), I farther concluded that it is almost impossible that our judgments can be so correct or solid as they would have been, had

13which comes from having made the mistake of installing oneself in a dual relationship. ¶ For we are certainly dealing with a unitive way and the various theoretical sauces with which it is served up – depending on the topography to which one is referring – can do no more than preserve the metaphor while varying it according to the level of the operation considered to be serious: introjection for Ferenczi, identification with the analyst‘s superego for Strachey, a terminal narcissistic trance for Balint. ¶ I am going to draw attention to the substance of this mystical consummation, and if once more I must take to task what is happening on my doorstep it is because analytic experience is known to draw its strength from the 26 ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>particular.

27of the Sun,” and great pagan religious celebrations were held all through the empire. The popes seem to have chosen December 25 precisely because it was natural to celebrate the birth of him who was the “Light of the World” on that very day. ¶ By about the year 1100, all the nations of Europe had accepted Christianity, and Christmas was celebrated with great devotion and joy. It was a time of inspiring, colorful religious services. Carols and Christmas plays were written. It was at this period that most of the delightful Christmas customs of each country were introduced. ¶ With the Reformation in the sixteenth century came a sharp change in the Christmas celebrations for many countries in Europe. The sacrifice of the mass and religious ceremonies all but disappeared. Although the people kept many of their customs alive, the deep religious inspiration was missing, and the “new” Christmas turned more and more into a feast of good-natured reveling.

Keep this choice fixed throughout the book. **Why the penultimate layer?** - **Semantic focus without head specialization.** The very last layer is most entangled with the model’s training head (LM/MLM). The penultimate layer typically preserves high‑level semantics with less task‑head distortion. - **Better geometry for cosine.** Final layers in big LMs can be **more anisotropic** (cosines bunch too high). One step back usually improves dispersion, which helps both alignment thresholds and the VR geometry later. - **Temporal stability.** Mid‑to‑late layers are empirically more stable under small contextual perturbations than very early (mostly form/syntax) layers—good for our “continuation of sense” criterion. - **Simplicity for readers.** A single fixed layer \(\ell\) keeps the frame truly fixed; VR in Ch. 5 then lives in one metric space with one scale parameter. **If you want a
