We might imagine that the psychic reality is forming itself as a series of
oscillations
between inner and outer space, between here (Da) and there (For),
and as an alienation of one series of representations from another ones.
The alienation of oneself in the space of the other in any screen
is a precondition for oneself to be, and this definitely presupposes an
absent presence
and a present absence of "a lost and nameless psychic substance
in the visual-psychic space" (Bracha Lichtenberg-Ettinger).

As the result of the double splitting (inside 0/1 and outside 0/1) we have
a picture of the reality which might be controlled on the imaginary and
later
the symbolical levels (as it presented by Freud in the description of
Fort/Da,
and as it is already described by).

And we have not to forget about ambigious character of the
machine-assemblage.
There is split between cognitition and computing in the body/mind/machine.
On the molecular level we could notice the equality between thinking and
computing.
(When we are talking that we are thinking that means our moleculas are
computing,
as it was expressed by Edgar Moren in his formula "Computo Ergo Sum")
Though we consider that it is easy to discern the inner (human) and
the outer (computer)space it is rather difficult to do when the human body
penetrated by nano-technological prothesis.
For example, the inner capacity of man to observe something could be
extended
up till the outer space (telepresence effect). And at the same time
the 'outer' mechanism could be incorporated inside the human body.
This intercorrelated process is changing the psychic space.

We can also imagine that the reorganization of the psychic space by means
of
correlations between images of inner and outer is the everlasting process.
The
important thing is that this process which basicly does not deal with the
so
called consciousness is supposed not to have linear time arrangments. Every
human is potentially multipersonal, and at any time any criptic arrangments

might be activated. And among them there are digital ones.

And as we can see now, in the time of hyperstimulation any time-cript might
be
used as a passage to the outside reality.
