Abstract: The status of the first invested object at the beginning of psychic life is a complex, scientific, philosophical as well as human enigma. The authors have a vision that is both personal and inspired by the broad metapsychological field and this field has usually been used for a descriptive or even explanatory support for inquiry. The support of their vision is based on a three-part concept, which brings together pictographic representation processes in the sense of “containing”, the reflecting role of the external object and bidimensionality. Their modeling describes the primary object in the form of a psychological experience of nondifferentiation between the constantly evolving subject and his environment, initiated with an originating framework at the beginning of life, which then gradually becomes, and in a way that varies with the individual, the ultimate primary trace.
