Bion's discovery of zero ("no-thing"). 비온의 제로(사물-없음)의 발견.
Bion was deeply interested in mathematics and sought to employ mathematical concepts and paradigms to psychoanalysis, not only to avail himself of the precision that mathematics offers, but also because mathematical integers lack memory and desire—that is, they are unsaturated and are therefore more versatile as symbols that can represent elements of meaning. Bion was especially alert to the fact that mental or psychoanalytic objects were more difficult to conceptualize than were material objects of the scientific world. He stated that we know things through K because of the capacity of our sense organs to achieve a common sense about the objects they perceive—but this is only within the sensual waveband. There are experiences with psychoanalytic objects that are in the ultrasensual band of experience, and language as we know it seems unsuitable as a representational medium for those ultrasensual experiences. Even mathematics, in its own development, suffered from "sensual" limitations until it developed the concept of zero—and the reciprocal of zero known as infinity—the latter two conceptions enabling mathematicians to transcend the world dominated by the senses and to travel into domains and perspectives that were contemplatable by intuition alone. Bion entered the galactic vastness of the deep and formless infinite, the domain of the cosmic nothingness of outer space, of no-thingness, to obtain two of his most important figurative concepts, already well-known entities in astronomy. Bion, in using theoretical and applied mathematics, was exploring the dialectic between loneliness and aloneness, between nothingness as unsaturation and nothingness as the saturation of meaninglessness. He was the intrepid explorer of the meaningfulness and meaninglessness of the zero experience. Grotstein, James S.. A Beam of Intense Darkness (p. 325). Taylor and Francis. Kindle Edition.
