    First introduction to Lacan’s Three Realms Structure

    That volume of memory is almost useless.Shen Molin spent a night’s rest trying to repair it, and finally came to the conclusion “I may need two more nights.”

    But this is the only data information from inside the black hole. Without memory, they can only put aside their observations of the inside of the black hole.

    So… let’s get back to the topic – energy and thinking.

    “Just ask questions?” “You’d better take the test with something difficult.”

    Senior Sister Yu has also volunteered to help. She and Qi Ruiqing will ask questions at the same time, so the difficulty is no longer just a “couple’s game”.

    Shen Molin, who was sitting in the middle of the room, was a little embarrassed and not confident, maybe because he still had dark circles under his eyes: “I’m not omniscient now. What happened before has made a lot of things sink in the water…”

    Qi Ruiqing’s firm eyes encouraged: “You can do it, and we won’t blame you.”

    “That’s right… that’s right. They are there, but I can’t pick them up now.” Shen Molin sat upright and took a deep breath nervously, “Come on.”

    Qi Ruiqing gave Senior Sister Yu a preview: “Well, let’s briefly describe the tetrad of parasitic delusions.”

    Persistent delusions of parasitic infection, tactile hallucinations, vivid visual hallucinations, self-inflicted skin lesions.

    “Okay, I really can’t think of anything for a while…” Senior Sister Yu thought for a while, “Briefly describe the basic concept of animal transformation delusion.”

    It refers to a persistent delusion that one has, is, or is about to transform or degenerate into some kind of animal.An extreme form of delusional identity disorder.Commonly seen in organic encephalopathy, manic episodes of bipolar disorder, major depression with psychotic symptoms, etc.

    Sufferers often believe they have extraordinary, animal-like abilities or identities in the context of delusions.

    “During the time when the mutation first occurred, I always suspected that this matter might be related to the delusion of animal transformation.” Senior Sister Yu shared her thoughts with Qi Ruiqing, “But in hindsight, it didn’t have much to do with it.”

    “How to say?” “Transforming into an animal is what you think you have turned into, but the actual shape of the mutated limbs is largely related to the outside world’s opinions.”

    Senior Sister Yu is a mermaid, and this is not because she imagined herself to be a mermaid.

    “I have been studying its correlation recently, but the current result is that it has nothing to do with the entity category. The same two patients have the same physiological cell tissue damage or changes, and the mutations are caused by similar traumatic experiences, but the results of the changes are very different.”

    She held her forehead and said, “Perhaps this change just has some symbolic meaning on the incorporeal level.”

    Symbolic meaning…

    “Shen Molin, what diseases are related to patients giving objects symbolic meanings?”

    There are four common ones: delusion of special meaning, in which patients believe that ordinary events, objects, or other people’s words and deeds in the surrounding environment are specifically directed at themselves, and have special, usually ominous metaphors or implications. For example, seeing a red light on is a warning of impending disaster.

    Relational delusion: patients believe that external phenomena that have nothing to do with themselves are related to themselves. For example, they believe that passers-by coughing, birds chirping, and newspaper headlines are all people with ulterior motives commenting on their affairs.

    Symbolic thinking, in which patients use highly personal, abstract and distorted symbols to explain things. The logic is incomprehensible to others, but the patient himself believes that the connection is obvious. For example, he believes that a certain thing or animal can symbolize himself or other people;

    New vocabulary creation means creating new words, symbols or graphics that only oneself understands, and giving them complex symbolic meanings, such as using onz to symbolize certain physical behaviors.

    “But if it is symbolic… who is giving meaning to these symbols?” Senior Sister Yu explained, “What I mean is… just like the mermaid symbolizes protection and love because of Western mythology, it evolved from an allusion into a symbolic meaning, and people gave it symbolic meaning.”

    Western mythology?Why Western mythology?

    Qi Ruiqing asked Senior Sister Yu, but Senior Sister could not explain clearly.That’s a tendency, a feeling.

    “We’ll know if it’s appropriate or not.”

    Yu Qi Ruiqing asked: “Lin, what is the symbolism of snakes in Western mythology?”

    Snakes symbolize healing and rebirth in the West.

    In ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius, the god of medicine, held a wooden staff wrapped with a snake. This staff was called the “staff of Asclepius.”Today’s medical symbols are also derived from this.

    In Native American culture, Quetzalcoatl is one of the most important gods, symbolizing wisdom, life force and cosmic order, as well as the wind and the fertility of crops.

    “Where’s the owl?” “You don’t need to tell me, I guess it’s wisdom.”

    It is a symbol of the goddess of wisdom: In ancient Greek mythology, the sacred bird of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is the owl, so it is revered as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and reason.

    In Western culture, the owl also represents insight, prediction of the future, and mysterious power.

    “It’s very close.” Senior Sister Yu exclaimed, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, “I’m talking about you two.”

    “I think senior sister also has the above-mentioned symbolic thinking.”

    But what seems to have to be admitted is that Shen Molin on the chair is like a raptor standing on a branch that has been rescued, as innocent as a search engine.

    “Does he look so unstressed?”

    Qi Ruiqing guessed that Sister Yu’s sudden excitement was because Shen Molin’s indifference aroused her desire to conquer.

    “Back π.”

    3.141592653589……

    Shen Molin had to close his eyes.

    “I thought of a trick.” Qi Ruiqing remembered their original purpose and decided to embarrass Shen Molin. “I remember that bilingual people have difficulty switching languages.”

    “Rin, while answering senior sister’s questions, recite the Preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion in English.”

    Shen Molin had to sit up straight.

    “He memorizes five by five, which is too rhythmic.” “This won’t work. Rin, use Morse code to translate the tanka line.” “And from now on, it must be divided according to the sequence of prime numbers as a rule… Oh, you know what I mean.”

    They never expected that Shen Molin would talk faster and faster.

    He doesn’t pant, and he doesn’t need to pant.He will not be affected by the speed of muscle contraction or the pressure of swallowing. He only needs to answer questions and report what is engraved in his body like a tape.

    “Did he pronounce it correctly?” “I… don’t know.”

    “He’s a bit scary now…” Senior Sister Yu said worriedly, “Shouldn’t I let him memorize infinite decimals…”

    “It doesn’t matter, you can ask me to stop at any time.” Shen Molin suddenly turned his head and said to her, and then he continued.

    Continue, continue, dot-dash space, letter space, word space, one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz…

    “Who knows what the current energy conversion rate is? I feel it has reached the upper limit.” Qi Ruiqing wanted to stop worriedly.

    “If e you refer to h virtual body conversion rate a, v takes the normal daily e conversion level a as the reference value 1l, then it has now reached e30211.775769726737%a of r’s normal level, but it is not the upper limit d.”

    Wait…wait?30211.775769726737%, next is 223243.89506692352%…

    “If you construct the coordinates with the time unit of one second as the unit length, the ordinate of the next point is indeed 223243.89506692352%.”

    “What did he say?” Senior Sister Yu heard nothing. All that echoed here was the garbled code mixed with the tapping of Morse code, the translation of the preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion, and endless numbers.

    “He was answering my question about f(x)=0.0034% e…” Qi Ruiqing held his head and leaned closer, “Is this the virtual body rate growth curve?”

    “The growth curve of velocity?” Senior Sister Yu didn’t understand, because this was a conjecture that had not yet been confirmed, and Shen Molin had only mentioned it to Qi Ruiqing.

    “Rejecting this equation is not the incorporeal transformation rate growth curve but…”

    Shen Molin suddenly stopped talking.

    The whole room fell silent instantly.

    Senior sister Yu’s hand grabbed Qi Ruiqing’s hand. In this sudden stop and sudden change, she immediately thought of the explosion that day.

    Fortunately, there was no explosion.

    Shen Molin just sat there quietly, staring straight ahead.His originally amber irises were now dizzy like ink, and black almost covered the entire eyeball.

    “Shen…Shen Molin?” Qi Ruiqing asked cautiously.

    Not defined.

    “What? What did you say?” Qi Ruiqing stood up, but was stopped by Senior Sister Yu, “No, I just heard what he said…”

    “There is no definition.” Shen Molin’s voice answered mechanically.

    There is no definition, so this topic cannot be discussed further.So he sat there, waiting in a too quiet state for Qi Ruiqing to continue asking questions.

    Qi Ruiqing turned around again and squatted down, putting his hand on Shen Molin’s knee: “The lack of definition means that the object described by this formula has not been specified here?”

    “Yes.” “Then can you give me a description?”

    Senior Sister Yu behind her held her breath, only grabbing the brim of Qi Ruiqing’s hat to pull him back at any time.

    “Represents the efficiency of the individual in converting external stimuli into energy growth.”

    “Very good, great.” Qi Ruiqing guided, “Can you describe it in detail?”

    Shen Molin actually hesitated about this question for a long time.

    His eyes slowly moved down from the distance and looked at Qi Ruiqing beside his knees.

    “The description can be formulated correctly, but f(x) is actually the percentage of the current rate and the constant value. Theoretically there is no upper limit, but the actual efficiency of converting external stimuli into energy growth is usually between 10 to the negative fourth power and 10 to the negative sixth power, which varies from person to person.”

    So, what Qi Ruiqing saw that day was not the value of energy?

    “The experiment mistakenly equated the conversion rate with the energy value of the virtual body. This is one of the reasons for the failure of the experiment.”

    Shen Molin half-opened his mouth, and strangely, as if he realized something and understood something, he suddenly took a breath.

    There.

    Where?

    Qi Ruiqing’s wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Shen Molin stood up.

    “there”

    What’s outside the window?There are only tall buildings there.Behind the tall buildings are walls.Behind the wall is a restricted area.In the restricted area is…

    It’s the black hole again, and it’s the enemy who must be there.

    Black hole?

    “No.” Shen Molin’s eyes slowly fell like a lunar eclipse, “It’s not a black hole.”

    “A black hole is not a black hole.”

    His head lowered, and the blackness in his eyes jumped, as if he came to life.

    His body began to shake, and something surged under the skin.

    “It’s over there…”

    It was the sound of muscles being torn apart and bones and flesh cracking.

    Shen Molin suddenly knelt down in Qi Ruiqing’s arms.He arched his back and buried his covered face into the ground.

    The strange anger in his mouth, the trembling of his back, something is ready to come out.

    “Qi Ruiqing!” Senior Sister Yu pulled Qi Ruiqing’s collar and said, “Quickly leave!”

    But every time he heard this, Qi Ruiqing knew it was too late.

    The skin had been stretched to the limit of tension. With a cracking sound, those eyes were right in front of Qi Ruiqing…

    Before becoming “indescribable”, a layer of “definition” quickly encloses “them”.

    A fallen feather gently covered Qi Ruiqing’s eyes.

    It fell and floated away. He looked again and saw Shen Molin looking back, amber eyes looking back apologetically.

    The reappearing wings covered Qi Ruiqing and pushed him into the body that was gradually recovering its body temperature.

    “I’m fine, I’m fine.” Shen Molin said.

    “…you.”

    Qi Ruiqing wanted to say something, but when he saw Senior Sister Yu who was a few steps away, she stood there in a daze, stiffly leaning back and about to fall.

    “Hey.” Shen Molin raised his hand and supported Senior Sister Yu out of thin air.

    “Qing, hold her head.”

    They worked together to place Senior Sister Yu, who seemed to have lost consciousness, and leaned against the wall. Qi Ruiqing only looked at Senior Sister’s face, as if she had been injected with an anesthetic, and slowly tilted her head and closed her eyes.

    “She saw ‘me’, so…” Shen Molin rubbed Senior Sister Yu’s cold hands, even though his hands had no body temperature, “It’s just like that time.”

    “That time you were stunned?” “Yes, yes.”

    But it doesn’t matter, it will be fine in a while.Shen Molin was not so greedy this time to eat up the senior sister’s energy.The senior sister just had a freezing reaction due to stress.

    “The name Shen Molin never protects you…” Qi Ruiqing closed Senior Sister Yu’s eyes.

    “No, this is also to protect me, because I am Shen Molin.”

    So, what about that black hole?

    Where does its name come from?
