 == Sigmund Freud ==Freud has often been accused of a crude determinism, since no slip or blunder, no matter how apparently insignificant, is ever ascribed to chance (''chance'').  Indeed, [[Freud ]] wrote, '"I believe in [[external ]] (real) chance, it is [[true]], but not in [[internal ]] ([[psychical]]) accidental events."<ref>Freud, 1901: 257</ref> --- {{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud]] is often accused |The Psychopathology of crude determinism.[[FreudEveryday Life]] almost never ascribes accident events to chance'', 1901.No slip or blunder, no matter how apparently insignificant, is ever ascribed to [[chanceSE]]VI. [[Freud]] states: "I believe in external (real) chance, it is true, but not in internal (psychical) accidental eventsp."<ref>Freud, 1901: 257</ref>

[[Lacan]] expresses the same [[belief]] in his own [[terms]]: [[chance]], in the [[sense]] of pure [[time|contingency]], only [[exists]] in the [[real]].

In the [[Chancesymbolic]], in the sense of pure [[contingencyorder]], only there is no such [[existsthing]] in the as pure [[realchance]].

==''Automaton'' and ''Tyche''==In the [[symbolicseminar]] of 1964, [[Lacan]] uses [[Aristotle]] 's [[orderdistinction]], there is no such thing as pure between two kinds of [[chance]] to illustrate this distinction between the [[real]] and the [[symbolic]].

---- In the seminar of 1964, [[Lacan]] uses [[Aristotle]]'s distinction between two kinds of chance to illustrate this distinction between the [[real]] and the [[symbolic]].  In the second book of the ''[[Physics]]'', where the [[concept ]] of causality (see [[causecausality]]) is discussed, [[Aristotle]] explores the [[role ]] of [[chance ]] and [[chance|fortune ]] in [[causality]].

He distinguishes between two types of [[chance]]: * ''[[automaton]]'', which refers to chance events in the [[world ]] at large, and * ''[[tyche]]'', which designates [[chance]] insofar as it affects agents who are capable of [[ethics|moral ]] [[action]].---

The term thus comes to designate those phenomena which seem to be [[Lacanchance]] redefines but which are in [[automatontruth]] as "the network [[repetition|insistence]] of signifiers", thus locating it the [[signifier]] in determining the [[symbolic ordersubject]].

The term thus comes to designate those phenomena which seem to be chance but which are in truth the insistence of ''[[Automaton]]'' is not truly [[arbitrary]]: only the [[signifierreal]] in determining the is truly arbitrary, since "[[subjectThe Real|the real]]is beyond the ''automaton''."<ref>{{S11}} p. 59</ref>

==Real==The [[Automatonreal]] is not truly arbitrary: only the aligned with ''[[realtyche]] is truly arbitrary'', since which [[Lacan]] redefines as "the [[encounter]] with the real is beyond the automaton."<ref>{{S11}} p.59</ref>

The [[real]] ==Trauma==It is aligned with ''a knock on the door that interrupts a [[tychedream]]'', which and on a more painful level it is [[Lacantrauma]] redefines as "the encounter with the real".

The [[Tychetrauma]] thus refers to the incursion of the tic [[realevent]] into the [[symbolic]] [[order]]: unlike the ''[[automaton]]'', which is the [[structure]] of the [[symbolic]] order which determines encounter with the [[subjectreal]], ''[[tyche]]'' is purely arbitrary, beyond the determinations of the [[symbolic]] extrinsic to [[ordersignification]].
