order (''ordre'')
Thus [[Lacan]] claims that his tripartite classification system has shed invaluable light on [[Freud]]'s [[work]]:
<blockquote>"Without these three systems to guide ourselves by, it would be impossible to understand anything of the Freudian technique and experience."<ref>{{Sl}} p.73</ref></blockquote>
The [[Imaginary]], the [[Symbolic]] and the [[Real]] are profoundly heterogeneous, each referring to quite distinct aspects of [[psychoanalytic]] [[experience]].
Although the three orders are profoundly heterogeneous, each order must be defined by reference to the other two.
The structural interdependence of the three [[order]]s is illustrated by the [[Borromean Knot]], in which the severing of any one of the three rings causes the other two to become separated also.
