But I have still problems to understand what exactly Libertsons means by
closure. 
Libertson says on page 4 that "closure is a difference: a herteronomous
intrication with exterior elements, and with the radical exteriority of
a communicational factor which is irreducible to the proposition of
closure. Ans closure is a proximity: a pre-originary involvement and an
uneliminable rapport with this Other of closure which has collaborated
in the latter's constitution".
So closure seems to be the relation to the other which is established in
communication. ??

For Bataille communication seems to be a relation between an opposition
which is estahblished on a certain level, let's say an existential one;
that means betwenn two existential heteronomous "terms". However, is
there something like a methodological instrument to constitute this
relation? How do  know these oppositions which communicate? Obviously it
makes no sense to take any opposition and analyse their communicational
relation. So, how can I establish the "existential level", on which
communication takes place?
