===The Three Orders===
Although [[Lacan]] uses the [[terms]] "[[real]]," "[[symbolic]]" and "[[imaginary]]" from early on in his work, it is not until 1953 that he speaks of these as [[three]] "[[order]]s" or three "[[order|register]]s.") From that [[moment]] on they come to be the fundamental classification [[system]] around which all his theorizing turns. This classification system allows important distinctions to be drawn between [[concepts]] which, according to [[Lacan]], had previously been confused in [[psychoanalytic theory]].
===Psychoanalytic Theory===
For example [[Lacan]] argues that much misunderstanding has arisen in [[psychoanalytic theory]] due to a failure to distinguish between the [[imaginary]] [[father]], the [[symbolic]] [[father]] and the [[real]] [[father]]. Thus [[Lacan]] claims that his [[tripartite]] classification system has shed invaluable light on [[Freud]]'s [[work]]:
<blockquote>"Without these three systems to [[guide]] ourselves by, it would be [[impossible]] to [[understand]] anything of the [[Freudian]] [[technique]] and experience."<ref>{{S1}} p. 73</ref></blockquote>
===Interdependence===
Although the three [[orders]] are profoundly heterogeneous, each order must be defined by reference to the [[other]] two. The [[structural]] interdependence of the three [[order]]s is illustrated by the [[Borromean knot]], in which the severing of any one of the three rings causes the other two to become separated also.

It should also be noted that the "orders" are not [[stable]] concepts; at each moment each may be implicated in the redefinition of the [[others]].
