The Avataṃsaka Sūtra and its commentaries via the Huayan school of Buddhism paint a rhizomatic image of interpenetration, a macrocosmic reflection of the microcosmic realm and vice versa.https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1228751924943392768?s=20 …

Deleuze (& Guattari) envisioned thinking as rhizomatic—a complex unity with neither beginning nor end—extending beyond the limitations of arborescent linearity.pic.twitter.com/0EKV7UjOTb
"We're tired of trees. We should stop believing in trees, roots, and radicals. They've made us suffer too much. All of arborescent culture is founded on them, from biology to linguistics." Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateauspic.twitter.com/SewN9s2jLG
In place of unidirectional, dualistic, hierarchical modes of arborescence, Deleuze & Guattari enter rhizomatics. The rhizome becomes an image of thought, a network of multidirectional vectors growing unpredictably, forming plateaus in an interwoven system of dimensionless unity.pic.twitter.com/eXYsrKDyid
"Nothing is beautiful or loving or political aside from underground stems and aerial roots, adventitious growths and rhizomes." Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateauspic.twitter.com/QoyBfblJQN
For Deleuze (& Guattari), the rhizome comprises a decentralized network and distributed system of immanence allowing for temporally and spatially immediate connectivity between nodes.pic.twitter.com/vEAYYjRihC
"Chaotic Connectome…the first microetching ever produced…is of an abstract neural landscape. This piece was initially developed to illustrate the depth of complexity of any given region of the brain through designating specific sets of neurons to different reflective channels."pic.twitter.com/YWfP5H2DX9
Indra's net reflects a connectome of cosmic proportions, both macrocosmic and microcosmic.https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1209165934851584000?s=20 …
"Self Reflected offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through…reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful & delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art."pic.twitter.com/dJb2uiJp0e
"Thought is not arborescent, and the brain is not a rooted or ramified matter. What are wrongly called 'dendrites' do not assure the connection of neurons in a continuous fabric." Deleuze & Guattaripic.twitter.com/ODdyMosVP6
Discontinuity between cells Axons Functioning of synapses Existence of synaptic microfissures Leap each message makes across these fissures Make the brain a multiplicity immersed in its plane of consistency or neuroglia—a whole uncertain, probabilistic system. Deleuze & Guattaripic.twitter.com/1Inf94cELz
"Many people have a tree growing in their heads, but the brain itself is much more a grass than a tree. 'The axon and the dendrite twist around each other like bindweed around brambles, with synapses at each of the thorns.'" Deleuze & Guattaripic.twitter.com/R3ExuLQYK2
"Its branches pierce the highest heaven; its roots reach through to the bowels of the earth. Above, the hanging moss reaches for a hundred feet; below, the fungus that grows only after the tree has lived a thousand years clings to the roots."

Reminiscent of both Indra's net as well as Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome, neural networks consist of hidden layers whose function is to perform non-linear transformations on information from an input layer, yielding new information to be passed on to an output layer.pic.twitter.com/iawwqHC9Tx
Each node in the net is an eyelet wherein information undergoes transformation via dream-like recursive cycles. https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1258176137450016768?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/HwElmEyrpH
Recursive neural networks are capable of remembering the past and parsing inputs in non-sequential fashion, transmitting information from input nodes by combining child nodes into parent nodes, which are further merged with other child/parent nodes in the net.pic.twitter.com/1AA8v7qXHf
"The Eternal Return does not occur without a transmutation. The Eternal Return, as the being of becoming, is the product of a double affirmation that only makes what affirms itself return, and only makes what is active become."
