If 
        the self in cyberspace realizes a Möbius strip 
        topology it is because space has collapsed and 
        the subject with/in it—the posthuman—has been reduced to a point of view 
        so that only his “consciousness moves through the screen [. . .] leaving 
        behind the body as an unoccupied shell” (Hayles 38). Metaphorizing the 
        posthuman as a singularity also has tremendous implications since the 
        subject may be free to rewrite himself without the constraints of physical 
        laws.  Both POV and singularity are supported by a Möbius strip 
        topology since the Möbius strip allows one 
        to discuss the nature of language in psychoanalysis and cybernetics, 
        specifically, the immediacy between signifiers in human and machine; their 
        souls are entwined but the connections do not appear to have any length. 
        I would like to consider this topology in an effort to modify Lacan’s 
        discourse of the Analyst.  By replacing the master signifier in his 
        formula with Hayles’s flickering signifier of cyberspace one arrives at 
        a “proof” for hypertext’s heuristic capacity; the proof, in turn, ultimately 
        rests upon a Möbius foundation.  Another way to state this idea 
        is that the post-poststructuralist nature of the flickering signifier 
        as well as the posthuman amalgam of self and cyberspace yields change; 
        the subject may better alter a signifier that is that much more removed 
        from its signified, but in time only.  A closer look at what is meant 
        here by “post-poststructuralist” will help us.  |
