Real, Symbolic, Imaginary

Further to my terrible Lumpish 'theory' of mind, 'Resolution, or This is That', I just realised that I could lump Lacan's Real, Symbolic and Imaginary into this diagram - the Imaginary being the play space between the Real (handled in Perception and Recognition), and the Symbolic (where reflecting abstraction analyses, orders and relates handles), presents unrecognized monsters and gives new judgements or resolutions to the recognizer. The Imaginary is the space of rising unrecognized monster and the descending symbol-laden image (metaphor), or judgement of resolution.
