In this paper, [[Lacan]] builds up the [[graph of desire]] in four stages.
====Elementary Cell====
[[Image:Lacan-graph-elementary.jpg|Elementary Cell|thumb|right]]
The first of these stages in the "[[graph of desire|elementary cell]]" of the [[graph of desire|graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref>
The horizontal line represents the [[diachronic]] [[signifying chain]]; the horseshow-shaped line represents the vector of the [[subject]]'s [[intention]]ality.
The double intersection of these two lines illustrates the nature of [[time|retroaction]]: the message, at the point marked '''s(A)''' in the [[graphof desire|complete graphelementary cell]], is the ''[[point de capiton]]'' determined [[time|retroactively]] by the particular [[punctuation]] given to it by the [[Other]], '''A'''.
The pre[[linguistic]] mythical [[subject]] of pure [[need]], indicated by the triangle, must pass through the defiles of the [[signifier]] which produces the [[divided]] [[subject]], '''$'''.
