Lacan has accustomed us to display the constituents of the subject on topological structures. Here for the sake of simplification (!) We present these structures in a singular way, a rectangle. It's the fundamental polygon.

We talk about choice and free will; J. Lacan showed, by mathematical examples that the choices of the present are constrained by the past of the subject. This session will continue in the workshop #17, more specifically focused on the repetition automatism
