bodies: variation in the force of existing
TRANSCRIPT
BODY IS NOTINTRINSICALLY
▪ Spatial structure
▪ Functional unit
These are effects, expressions of a body, in relation to other bodies.
A BODY CAN BEANYTHING
Animal, body of sounds, a mind, an idea, linguistic corpus, social body, a collectivity.“
▪ Individuality in continuous variation of force of existing
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.
INDIVIDUALITYFORM
▪ Affectus involved in affections
▪ Nature as possibilities of mixture
▪ Composite to infinity
BODY
“
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.

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.
