“When, each evening, the guru sat down to proceed with the evening prayer the ashram's cat was in the way and distracted the monks so, he ordered that the cat should be attached during the evening prayers. A long time after the guru's death the cat continued to be attached during the evening prayer. Then, when the cat finished by dying, another cat was brought to the ashram so that it could be duly attached during the evening prayers. Centuries later the guru's disciples wrote wise treatises on the essential role of the cat in the good order of all prayers.” (DeMerlo)

='lgc'>[the identity of objects:='lgc'>]
Manuel ="ppl">Delanda='lgc'>: Any ="trms">materia="trms"nttrm="listen,alist,ilist,llist,olist,ylist,ulist">list philosophy must take as its point of departure the existence of a ="trms">material ="trms">world that is independent of our minds. But then it confronts the problem of the o="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin of the enduring identity of the inhabitants of that ="trms">world='lgc'>: if the mind is not what gives identity to mountains and rivers, plants and ="trms">animals, then what does='qstn'>? An old answer is “essences,” the answer given by ="ppl">Aristotle. But if one rejects essentialism then there is no choice but to answer the ="trms">question like this='lgc'>: all objective entities are products of a ="trms">historical process, that is, their identity is synthesized or produced as part of ="trms">cosmological, geological, biological, or ="trms">social ="trms">history. This need for a concept of “synthesis” or of “production” is what attracted ="ppl">Marx to ="ppl">Hegelian dialectics since it provided him with a model of synthesis='lgc'>: a conflict of op="trms">posites or the negation of the negation. ="ppl">Deleuze and ="ppl">Guattari, on the other hand, replace that model of synthesis with what they call a “double ="trms">articulation”='lgc'>: first, the raw ="trms">materials that will make up a new entity must be selected and pre-processed; second, they must be consolidated into a whole with properties of its own. A rock like limestone or sandstone, for example, is first ="trms">articulated though a process of sedimentation (the slow gathering and ="trms">sorting of the pebbles that are the component parts of the rock). Then it is ="trms">articulated a second time as the accumulated sediment is glued together by a process of cementation. They use Hjemslev's terms “content” and “expression” as the names for the two ="trms">articulations, but this is not meant to sug="trms">gest that the ="trms">articulations are in any way ="trms">linguistic in o="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin. On the contrary='lgc'>: the sounds, words, and grammatical patterns of a ="trms">language are ="trms">materials that accumulate or sediment ="trms">historically, then they are consolidated by another process, like the standardization of a dialect by a Royal Academy and its official ="trms">dictionaries, grammars, and rules of pronunciation.

='lgc'>[singular entities:='lgc'>]
The ="trms">question of the “individuation of ="trms">trajectories” is about mathematical models (which to me are the secret of the success of ="trms">science) but you are correct that it goes beyond that. All entities synthesized ="trms">historically are individual entities='lgc'>: individual plants and ="trms">animals; individual ="trms">species and eco="trms">systems; individual mountains, planets, solar ="trms">systems, et cetera. Here “individual” means simply “singular or unique,” that is, not a particular ="trms">member of a general ="trms">category, but a unique entity that may ="trms">compose larger individual entities through a ="trms">relation of part-to-whole, like individual pebbles ="trms">composing a larger individual rock. A ="trms">materia="trms"nttrm="listen,alist,ilist,llist,olist,ylist,ulist">list ="trms">ontology of individual entities is implicit in ="ppl">Deleuze and ="ppl">Guattari and Braudel, so we must give them credit for that, then move on and invent the rest.
