It has also been compared to [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan]]'s use of the [[Name of the Father]],<ref>Duane Rousselle, (2019) ''Jacques Lacan and American Sociology'' Palgrave</ref>  as the third party created by the presence of [[social convention]], law, and language in all human interaction.<ref>Vincent Crapanzano, ''Hermes' Dilemma and Hamlet's Desire'' (1992) pp. 88–9</ref> It is also similar to Bakhtin's (Superaddressee) "superaddressee" presumed to receive and understand human communication.
