The Self as a Node

'The self is understood in terms of a 'fabric of relations', a node in a network, and not in terms of atomistic units standing y and for themselves.'
p. 116 Complexity and Postmodernism, Paul Cillers
Network modell for the society is not new. But the model above makes out of individuals nodes. And I have also thought of nodes when I was making these blogs...
There stays always something which can t be said. We all know that the self is more complex than a node... And there will be 'nodes' who will not let them reduced to nodes. I like to deconstruct the self as a contingent product of many influences and not to see it as an essential entitiy of unique origine. But still you can t change the wish to be like this... Unique and independent... Even if it is impossible...
But this is only one point.
The psyche as a 'writing machine' is also a powerful imagination to me... This is me now at the moment. I will write and forget everything in a few seconds...
