Deferral is an act that lets the center be in order to temporarily stave off mimetic violence.
Origin
Deferral emerges on the Originary Scene when human beings for the first time have a non-appetitive relationship to an object. This happens when they collectively issue a sign to represent their hesitation from instinctually appropriating the object of shared desire.
The first sign was a recognition of the "success" of this action and all subsequent sign use is a continuation of this deferral.
Deferral can come in different forms including the deferral of resentment, desire, and violence.
Characteristics
Deferral is negative in that it is a kind of "stepping back" and observing while also being positive and creative because deferral gives us the space to see and hear something new.
It is a non-metaphysical and non-supernatural action that is unique to humanity.
