Appetition or Desire is a biological force, already present in the most basic organisms as the means to exceed the given, to improvise upon changes in a known situation, to reorient when a routine fails.

Instinct is continuous with play, and as the force of the drive derives from the former, so does all intensity of action sprout from the lusory, the wellspring of life that is the dramatic engagement with the world.

The meta-communicative register of play as found in animals is the evolutionary foundation for language, insofar as the normative character of assertion is ultimately grounded in metalinguistic practices and their norms.

It all comes down to the play of the signifiers

"Life is stretched taut between its obligatory anchoring in the imperatives of a given situation, and the supernormal tendency wringing from every twist and turn in the action a bid for freedom. The is no "the body." There is a life--stretched like a rubber band between the contrasting affective poles between which the progressive determination of the event will run."

"Humor is a good example of the operation of language winking at itself."
