Thanks, now i'm with you - i didn't get the beginning of this thread...or
the context. When you talk about 'attractors' and 'reverse causality' etc. i
wasn't sure whether you were using them in a technical scientific sense (for
attractors - the mathematical description of the activity of certain
parameters of a system) or more poetically ('attractors' as scientific
constructs don't attract anything to them).
I'm not sure what 'reverse causality' is, but i have no scientific or
mathematical background.
sorry for interrupting. 'sometimes one overdoes it.'
Paul.
ps. an extracting machine is another way of talking about abstract machines.
guattari uses this term in chaosmosis (p.35). 'An abstract machine or
machinic assemblage or bwo 'doesn't imply any notion of bond, passage, or
anastomosis betwn its components. It is an assemblage of possible fields, of
virtual as much as constituted elements.'
