The principal assumption put forward in this paper will be that for the Waiwai the privileging of lateral visibility brings ideas about a fractal individual into association with recursive power, while for coastal Guyanese and U.S. societies, respectively, the privileging of axial visibility brings concepts about an autonomous individual into association with contrapuntal and cellular relations of power. It will be argued that, contrary to the Waiwai situation, in its agenda to achieve a greater efficiency for the workings of its political relations with its citizens, the desire of the modern state, expressed through its privileged use of axial visibility, de-emphasizes lateral relations and brings about categorically isolated and solitary forms of individuals. El principal argumento propuesto en este artículo es que mientras que para los Waiwai el privilegiar la visibilidad lateral sugiere ideas acerca de un individuo fractal en asociación con formas de poder recursivo, para las sociedades de la costa de Guayana y los EEUU, respectivamente, el privilegiar la visibilidad axial sugiere nociones sobre un individuo autónomo en asociación con relaciones de poder contrapúntadas y celulares. Se argumentará que, contrariamente a la situación de los Waiwai, en su agenda para lograr una mayor eficiencia en el funcionamiento de sus relaciones políticas con sus ciudadanos, el deseo del estado moderno, expresado a través del uso privilegiado de la visibilidad axial, quita énfasis a las relaciones laterales y produce formas de individuos categóricamente aislados y solitarios
