"Long Live the Multiple!"

"In truth, it is not enough to say, "Long live the multiple", difficult as it is to raise that cry. No typographical, lexical, or even syntactical cleverness is enough to make it heard. The multiple must be made, nit by always adding a higher dimension, but rather in the simplest if ways, by dint of sobriety, with the number of dimensions one already has available - always n-1 (the only way the one belongs to the multiple: always subtracted). Subtract the unique from the multiplicity to be constituted: write at n-1 dimensions. A system of this kind could be called a rhizome. A rhizome as subterranean stem is absolutely different from roots and radicles. Bulbs and tubers are rhizomes." Deleuze and Guattari: A Thousand Plateaus p.6
