The matheme is a concept introduced in the work of Jacques Lacan.
The "matheme" is a neologism coined by Jacques Lacan in the early 1970s.
Formed by derivation from "mathematics" and by analogy with phoneme and Lévi-Strauss's mytheme,[1] the term is an equivalent to "mathematical sign". It is not used in conventional mathematics, but is part of Lacan's algebra.
