Disjunctive justice

Once again, perhaps surprisingly, in the last chapter we found ourselves again influenced by the poet; the poet who absorbs and intuits, who is an ever-changing point of view, an effect of combinatorial networks, light emanating from stars and planets, clouds and mountains, forests and seas, plants, animals, humans, vast cities, desolate plains, objects, images, sounds, tastes, odors, touch. She too emits shimmering light. Let us begin by reminding ourselves that the words she uses, the language she speaks, the gestures she performs are the words and language, the gestures and performances of a crowd, a host of states combining, contributing, influencing one another and influencing her at every moment, at each arrival, when she speaks and gestures, emitting her own spatializing-temporalizing nexus. Thought on another scale, from a certain distance, she could still be conceived as little more than the effect of dispersed and dispersing intensities, partial, fragmented and fragmenting. First, the connective syntheses in which what is most her own, her partial and discrete delusions would be connected to other partial and discrete elements that interrupt and carry her away from herself into new connections, unanticipated but apparently necessary. Necessary in order to articulate a desire that is not her desire, but desire itself, the immanent binary-linear sphere of possible differentiations. Her little delusion-producing machine would then follow the connective law of desiring-machines, which is, if she ‘feels’ something, she must ‘produce’ something, something that, nevertheless, will be torn apart; that is the law of the dark precursor.
