We never directly observe another mind; we infer its existence through analogical reasoning, theoretical postulation, or social interaction. Each route faces distinct philosophical objections.
Analogical inference and direct perception are two rival strategies for justifying belief in other minds: one reasons from one’s own case, the other claims that we perceive others’ mental states directly in their expressive behavior.
The problem of other minds is the epistemological challenge of justifying the commonsense belief that other human beings possess subjective conscious experiences like your own, given that you can only directly observe their behavior, not their inner mental states.
The problem of other minds is the epistemological issue of how we can justify the belief that other individuals have conscious subjective experiences, given that we have no direct observational access to any mind other than our own.

The pre-individual is the unindividuated background of potential that remains active within the individual, supplying the charge that drives further individuation.
Because individuation is an ongoing operation that never terminates, Simondon rejects the idea of a fixed essence, arguing that each being is a phase in a continuous series of transformations.
Transindividuality is Simondon's term for the social dimension of individuation, where the self is constituted by and through its relations with others, undermining the myth of a self-contained subject.
