Status Updates From Deux régimes de fous

A wound is incarnated or is actualised in a state of things and in lived experience. A wound itself, however, is a pure virtual on a plane of immanence which leads us to a life. My wound existed before me.... Not a transcendence of the wound as some higher actuality, but its immanence as a virtuality always within a milieu (a field or a plane).

A life contains only virtuals. It is composed of virtualities, events, singularities. What I am calling virtual is not something that lacks reality. Rather, the virtual becomes engaged in a process of actualisation as it follows the plane which gives it its proper reality.

The event considered as non-actualised (indefinite) lacks nothing at all.

This indefinite life does not itself have moments, however close they may be, but only between-times, between-moments. It does not arrive, it does not come after, but presents the immensity of an empty time where one sees the event to come and already past, in the absolute of an immediate consciousness.

The transcendental field is defined by a plane of immanence, and the plane of immanence by life.

a life of pure immanence, neutral, beyond good and evil, since only the subject that incarnated it in the midst of things made it good or bad.

The organs are thus "miraculously" born on the organless body, obeying a machinic regime that should not be confused either with organic mechanism or with the organisation of the organism.
