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 …
x.noaidi added,
"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
I agreeingly (in perspective) disagree (in irrelevant concreteness) but love them anyways lol
D&G seem to underestimate the diversity of trees, many of which are invisibly rhizomatic, but I can appreciate the contrast as a reflection on the stratification of society & information flow—possibly an invitation, of sorts, to organize rhizomatically for revolutionary purposes.
Possibly, but certainly an invitation to consider regardless of the intention :D
