The Unconscious, its Space-Time - Aristotle, Lacan, Poincaré

I am trying to make headway in the problematic of temporality in the unconscious that Freud has barely sketched out. How to grasp the differences in temporality between the time in repetition of unconscious contents -that Freud designated as timeless- and the time for the passage to the conscious? Modalities of temporality under which Freud exerted himself to think what I am calling structure and what I take from Lacanian psychoanalysis.

Let's propose that subjective space, that is, intrapsychic space, can account for this question of time and outside-time in the unconscious, if one connects it with the hypothesis according to which the unconscious conforms to a double topological structure, at the same time Moebian and Borromean, as I will explain further on.
