It is precisely from this eminently formal perspective of linguistics that Lacan elevated the concept of the unconscious to the rank of a language, that is, to a structure, the unit of which is the signifying element. The unconscious satisfies the requirements that define any structure. What are these requirements? First, a structure is a chain of elements that are distinct in their material reality, but similar in that they belong to the same whole. These elements are called signifiers. Second, the signifiers, as interconnected, obey a double movement of connection (metonymy), and of substitution (metaphor).

Now to this elementary couple one must add the hole. The structural configuration of the unconscious involves a triad: the hole, existence, and consistency. One can define the hole as the position that Onenow on the external page_56 Page 57 edgeno longer occupies. The hole is the lack left by the One ''that has left'' and taken a place at the limit of the network (figure 3). We recall here that the hole permits the movement and the displacement of the units of the network. As the One insures the consistency of the whole, the hole insures its dynamic.

If to read in a cursory manner means to read superficially, I reject your objection. If on the contrary it means that I use a diagonal system to establish a relation between the whole and the order that is, the very system which has enabled Cantor to discover the transfinite number, then yes, I have read Saussure in a cursory manner in order to found the psychoanalytic concept of the signifier. And this reply would have been appropriate, because Cantor in fact used the diagonal method of counting to show that the union of denumerable sets was itself denumerable.
