相交在本體論意義上意味著兩個實體的相遇，不論這相遇是偶然還是必然。這種事態表述了兩個實體在時間或空間上的某種疊加狀態。
在疫情時代的中國，這意味密接、次密接、次次密接，或時空伴隨。這種對於contact、intersect、encounter 的流行病學化和政治化的話語，宣告了一種新型的生命政治。這種生命政治消滅了人與人之間的親密接觸和偶然相遇的可能性。這種政治強迫人進行自我隔離或強制隔離從十四天到無限不等。
主權者對這些相交地帶contact zone 進行強制隔離，旨在製造出地型學上的真空。這種真空地帶意味著自由的真空和權力的豐滿，這是權力以疫情為理由所創造的例外狀態。一種不可相交性。
這種相交的不可能導致了聯合的不可能，在真實世界進行親密接觸和思想上的碰撞，這種物理上的相交和聚集對於權力來說是具有危險性的。

In an ontological sense, an intersection signifies an encounter between two entities, either accidental or inevitable; a state that implies a certain superposition of the two in time or space.
 
In COVID-era China, “intersection” had become virtually interchangeable with contact-tracing neologisms such as direct contact, secondary contact, tertiary contact, or time-space companion. This epidemiological and politicized discourse around the terms “contact,” “intersect,” and “encounter” heralded a new biopolitics that eliminated the possibility of intimacy and chance encounters between individuals. This politics forced people into self-isolation or mandatory quarantines that lasted from fourteen days to indefinite lengths of time.
The sovereign puts contact zones under mandatory quarantine in order to manufacture a topographical vacuum. There is an absence of freedom and abundance of power in the vacuum—a state of exception manufactured by power under the pretext of the pandemic. A type of non-intersectability.
 
This impossibility to intersect leads to the impossibility of solidarity. To develop ideological friction and intimacy in the real world is a kind of physical intersection and congregation that poses a threat to power.
