"We may therefore use the term central layer, or central ring, for the following aggregate comprising the unity of composition of a stratum: exterior molecular materials, interior substantial elements, and the limit or membrane conveying the formal relations. There is a single abstract machine that is enveloped by the stratum and constitutes its unity. This is the Ecumenon, as opposed to the Planomenon of the plane of consistency. In the first place, a stratum necessarily goes from layer to layer, and from the very beginning. It already has several layers. It goes from a center to a periphery, at the same time as the periphery reacts back upon the center to form a new center in relation to a new periphery. Flows constantly radiate outward, then turn back. There is an outgrowth and multiplication of intermediate states, and this process is one of the local conditions of the central ring (different concentrations, variations that are tolerated below a certain threshold of identity)." #ecumenon #layer From "10 000 BC, The Geology of Morals: Who Does the Earth Think It Is?", paragraph 18 drawing d. #drawingathousandsplateaus These drawings are a methodical interpretation of A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia written by modern French philosophers Gilles Delueze and Felix Guattari.
