→Split Law
==Split Law==
The persisting [[Real]] of [[violence]] is [[law]].
How does this '''violence''' ''persist'', and what is its relation to '''split law'''?
[[Violence]] persists as [[superego]], that is, as the punishing, powerful, obscene, dead [[father]] killed by the primal horde.
===Surplus===
As a nonintegrated surplus, [[violence]] gives [[law]] the form of an ''injunction'', rendering [[law]] as that which is to be obeyed.
[[Law]] is constitutively [[signification|senseless]]: it is obeyed not because it is [[good]], just, or beneficial, but because it is [[law]].
As [[Zizek]] explains, "The last foundation of the [[Law]]'s authority lies in its process of [[enunciation]]."<ref>
===Lack===
