ABSTRACT
How would you perceive yourself if you did not think that you were an independent mind controlling your own thoughts inside an individual, skin-limited body?1 What sense would you have of yourself if you did not have clear boundaries to your being? What if you experienced yourself through an array of emotions, relationships and states of mind which did not uniquely emanate from you or belong to you, but were things existing in your community and your world? You would exist, but how would you represent yourself ? What if, at the same time, law did not have its concepts of jurisdiction, geographical terrain, sovereignty, and separation from the social field? Would it be law if we could identify no distinct boundaries to the concept? And furthermore, what would knowledge be without the separation of knowing subjects from known objects? What if there were no closed categories of thought, disciplines, or frameworks of understanding?
