==Torus==In its simplest [[form]], it is a ring, a [[three]]-dimensional [[object ]] formed by taking a cylinder and joining the two ends together.
==Topology==[[Lacan]]'s first reference to the [[torus]] dates from 1953,<ref>{{E, }} p. 105</ref> but it is not until his [[work ]] on [[topology]] in the 1970s that it begins to [[figure ]] prominently in his work.
==Subject==
The [[topology]] of the [[torus]] illustrates certain features of the [[structure]] of the [[subject]]:
One important feature of the [[torus]] is that its centre center of gravity falls [[outside ]] its volume, just as the centre of the [[subject]] is outside himself; he is [[decentred]], excentric'''[[extimacy|ex-centric]]'''.
==Extimacy==[[Another ]] property of the [[torus]] is that "its peripheral exteriority and its central exteriority constitute only one single region."<ref>{{E, }} p. 105</ref>
This illustrates the way that [[psychoanalysis]] problematises the [[distinction ]] between '"[[extimacy|inside' ]]" and '"[[extimacy|outside]]".' (see [[extimacy]]).
