Therefore, Chuster theorizes that “O” is also “Opus”, a work in progress (Chuster, 2018) to every direction: analyst, analysand, theory, practice, logic, and epistemology. Bion summarized those ideas by the following phrase: “By considering the psychoanalytic experience in the light […] of a theory of transformations it is possible to see the problems of thinking afresh”. (Bion 1965, p.38) For instance, Bion proposed to think of the resistance phenomena by another vertex, which he called the inaccessibility of O. It is inaccessible for both sides of the analytic link. However, in any way, such proposition will move the overall objective of the text to understand transference as various forms of transformations. It is a new way of thinking. It is complexity brought to psychoanalysis (Chuster, 2018). In summary, when it is possible to introduce the vertex of Complexity to understand Bion’s ideas it may be easier to perceive that he is proposing to think in a different way in every step and in every concept one might be using during one’s work. Therefore, transference is conveyed by feelings of surprise; it is the new and unknown element in the field. II. Eb. Genesis of ‘O’ and Relevance of Space-Time Theory The idea of “O” in a way is a counterpart of the Kantian aphorism of empty thoughts and blind intuitions trying to fulfill each other. Chuster (1999, 2002, 2014, and 2018) recognized that Bion expanded such idea using Gödel’s (1931) ‘Undecidable proposition’ of the ‘Second Incompleteness theorem’ applicable to formal systems of sufficient complexity in observation, the same applied by Heisenberg’s in his Uncertainty principle. The overall idea means that in every link there is a point of observation where one cannot truly decide what belongs to one side or to the other. For instance, there is a point where one does not know if something belongs to the patient or to the analyst. One may add many other links: family-patient, society-family, mother-baby, mouth-breast, fetus-uterus, and so on. This undecidable point is “O”. The decisions by virtue of interpretations are due to the work in progress that may rise from such point of uncertainty. Yet, interpretations always are transient thoughts, made to a single moment of decision. The next moment makes the past decision unacceptable. Bion also translated “O” using the aesthetics of the language of John Milton in “Paradise Lost”: “the void and formless infinite”. That phrase makes very clear his idea of infinity as a definition for unconscious mind. Therefore, “O” defines Unconscious as something always beyond what we may think it is. It is something always in expansion (work in progress), an ineffable essence, rather inaccessible like an ultimate reality, or an ultimate truth. This proposition deeply connects to the problems of observation, which is present in the epistemological criticism coming from Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle (1929). This criticism requires that one should look for a new observational system when the current method saturates with interpretations blurred by the many possible emotional attachments to the observed object. The general proposition is that the observer should change the observed fact to a new system in order to verify its validity. Bion chose the metaphors of
