The number R which describes the scattered particle is given by the energy conservation condition R = (U + [[lambda].sub.1,2])/[[omega].sub.1,2] and can be, therefore, noninteger, leading to a divergency of the corresponding wave function at r [right arrow] [infinity].

Further, the trace is, ontologically and epistemologically, inherently ambiguous; it pertains to the order of the enigma rather than phenomenon, and, thus, transpires as the anarchy or disturbance of the present order of being: "alterity occurs as a divergency and a past which no memory could resurrect as a present" (Levinas 1987, 68).
