Abstract Albegraic polynomials with Boolean functions as coefficients may be used to represent a person's inner world. In this manner, it is possible to express complex structures of and from the viewpoints of various persons. The use of such polynomials allows us to introduce the concept of specific operators of realization, and build a mathematical model explaining the most simple aspects of the subconscious and of obsession.
