Desire is the signifier, and it wants the signified. The potential true object of desire gets identified and then obtained and it disappoints our fantasy/expectation. Desire returns, which means that it wants another object. In most people this script plays itself out all life long. Is there a point when signifier=signified or is that a limit that is never reached? The signified is a function/fantasy of the signifier, in order for the fantasy to be fulfilled the "=" sign must become reality, i.e. the prohibition (the gap) must be transgressed, which of course is an impossibility. Without the signifier there is no signified, without the signified there is no signifier. It's a formula, it functions in the space of the symbolic, it has no reality in the vulgar material sense, which is not to say that the formula is not effective.
