This reminded me of a passage in a book I'm reading called "Fashionable 
Nonsense - Postmodern intellectuals abuse of science". Not in an abuse 
of science sense but in a hard-to-decode sense :)


Jaques Lacan, 1973 regarding his claim of "a strict equivalence between 
topology and structure":

"Topology is not "made to guide us" in structure. This structure is it - 
as retroaction of the chain order of which language consists.

Structure is the aspherical concealed in the articulation of language 
insofar as an effect of subject takes hold of it.

It is clear that, as far as meaning is concerned, this "takes hold of 
it" of the sub-sentence - pseudo-maodal - reverberates from the object 
itself shich it wraps, as verb, in its grammatical subject, and that 
there is a false effect of meaning, a resonance of the imaginary induced 
by the topology, according to whether the effect of subject makes a 
whirlwind of asphere or the subjective of this effect "reflects" itself 
from it.

Here one must distinguish the ambiguity that inscribes itself from the 
meaning, that is, from the loop of the cut, and the suggestion of hole, 
that is, of structure, which makes sense of this ambiguity."


Phew...the third sentence is my favourite :)
