=====BackgroundExtra=====
The [[matheme]] is a concept introduced in the [[{{LB}}|work]] of [[Jacques Lacan]].
The term "[[matheme]]" is a neologism coined by [[Jacques Lacan]] in the early 1970s. Formed by derivation from "[[mathematics]]" and by analogy with [[phoneme]] and [[Lévi-Strauss]]'s [[mytheme]],<ref>''Mytheme'' is a term coined by [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]] to denote the basic constituents of mythological systems.</ref> the term is an equivalent to "[[algebra|mathematical sign]]". It is not used in conventional [[mathematics]], but is part of [[Lacan]]'s [[algebra]].        =====Unsorted=====
They are formulae designed as symbolic representations of his ideas and analyses.
They were intended to introduce some degree of technical rigour in [[philosophical]] and [[psychological]] writing, as an easy way to hold, remember, and rehearse some of the core [[psychoanalytic]] [[concepts]]s.
"[[Matheme]]", for [[Lacan]], was not simply the imitation of [[science]] by [[philosophy]], but the ideal of a perfect means for the integral transmission of [[knowledge]].
