Lacan changes his formalization register. Until then, during the 1970s, he had been working with logic, with the limits of logic, the impasses of formalization to talk about the real, to talk about jouissance, to talk about sexuation. Before that, he had been working with topology, with Klein’s groups to talk about the theory of the four discourses, and before that, in the 1960s, at the time of the return to Freud in 1953-1963, using the structural method based on structural linguistics. Before that, he had been using variations of the phenomenological method with dialectics, in the time of the thesis, of logical time.

There are several moments. We arrive at this challenge that for many would be a synthetic moment in Lacan’s work, where the three registers that have been theorized throughout the entire body of work gain prominence, but here we arrive at a kind of metatheorization. We have the notions that are presented in a narrative form, then we have the concepts, then we have the writing of the concepts, which are the mathemes, we have the formalization of the mathemes, right? And on top of the formalization of the mathemes, Lacan also invented this model based on the three rings, the three tori, the three registers.
