...This chapter examines the metaphysics and semiotics of Deleuze in relation to the formal structures of category theory. It begins by situating Deleuze’s thought relative to the Erlangen Program in geometry and considering the role of the concepts of topological singularity and the Kantian...

... as the smallest element of matter), the chapter shows how the past-as-virtual unfolds and then re-enfolds back in relation to the actual along the plane of immanence, linking experience, information and image in a topological biogram (akin to an endlessly returning Moebius strip). This is then related...

From within this space, urgent ecological questions can be posed. How to live in this world? How to inhabit its spaces? How to construct spaces...

...The chapter suggests that the dominant architectural history is too logocentric and not speculative enough. As such, its only merit is to translate a coexistence of becomings into a succession of neat logically necessary types. The case will be made for the role of topology...
