ABSTRACT
My intention here is relatively straightforward. I choose to turn my attention in the opposite direction-inwards, not outwards-not because I think the social to be misplaced as a locus of exploration, but because I firmly believe it is not the only one of interest. A mathematician, David Henderson, once commented to me, ‘I do mathematics to find out about myself.’ And, in an enticing passage, George Spencer Brown (1977) writes of his sense of congruence between mathematical and psychoanalytical activity.
