2. BODY IS NOT
INTRINSICALLY
▪ Spatial structure
▪ Functional unit
These are effects, expressions of a body, in relation to other bodies.
3. A BODY CAN BE
ANYTHING
“
Animal, body of sounds, a mind, an idea, linguistic corpus,
social body, a collectivity.
4. BODY
▪ Individuality in continuous variation of force of existing
▪ Affectus involved in affections
▪ Nature as possibilities of mixture
▪ Composite to infinity
INDIVIDUALITY
FORM
“
Permanence of a certain ratio of motion and rest through
all the changes which affect all the parts, taken to infinity,
of the body under consideration.
5. COMPOSITE TO INFINITY
“
My eye, for example, my eye and the relative constancy of my eye are defined
by a certain relation of movement and rest through all the modifications of the
diverse parts of my eye; but my eye itself, which already has an infinity of parts,
is one part among the parts of my body, the eye in its turn is a part of the face
and the face, in its turn, is a part of my body, etc...thus you have all sorts of
relations which will be combined with one another to form an individuality
of such and such degree.
17. SEDUCTIVE
BARRY
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky.
Breathe in, breathe out,
I love the way you move.
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight.
You are beauty,
you are class,
you showed it all
but you still kept a little piece back just for me.
A little piece back just for me.
Just for me.
19. SPIRITUAL AUTOMATON
The Turing Machine metaphor of the brain
Competition between alternative production. Implemented by mutually
inhibiting neurons that increase their activity until a threshold is reached
resulting in the ‘ignition’ of a single outcome.
