This article argues for the possibility of non-transitional play in an inner potential space cut off from the external world. Therein, the child does not play alone in the presence of someone else, as is the case in Winnicott’s transitional play, but in a radical solitude where he is not mirrored by anyone. It is argued that this hinders the child from feeling that he is someone, and that this “someone” is equal to himself. Instead, the child remains no one, and beyond the reach of the mirror and the symbol. In conversation with Pessoa, Borges, Ibn Arabi, and Rimbaud,  the author proposes that this enables him to create an inner world for himself, and seeing what is unimaginable, thus rendering him a creating seer rather than a subject. Furthermore, it is postulated that the gap between no one and someone draws a line which society cannot cross.
