It is also not very clear to me, but it seems a process of dissolving of "melting". Also Deleuz speaks of "one machine,whic is against oneself". Ther is some kind of enemy from within, who can be very, very tricky. Open paranoia is a simple to recognizecase, but mistrust, fales interpretations, dpresions, as you say are oft not ony a quwestion of mood, but a connection of this mood, when one feerls very naked and without shelter and stressed, with people or an interpretation of thebehaviour of people. That possible drives oneself more into isolation than necessary, especiall if there is no possibility to correct this misunderstanding. I am not so puzzeled that ther are dpressevie moods, that seems to me not so surprsing ragrdingf chemistry and even submolecular physics with union and dissolving. But thistricky machines whic sometimes leads to interpreations and beahviour of doing harm to onerself, not in a physical manner with bloody wounds, but in a socuial and psychological manner in making the wrong choices. "You always choose the worst interpretation" said Deleuze ain a foreword of a book ao a studenz of him. That is something like that. That is waht i Tried always to dewscriobe or explain with inhibitory synaoses or neurotransmittetrs. The "wonder" neurotransnmitters have to override thes inhibitory ones, - waht you tr y to dewscribe as a process "of negativity also by addition". Things get worse if the process or the interpretaion is blocked or stopped at this negative stage. I did not found the explaation in "chasmose"for that, but I will look for it. "Cahsomose" is in some parts more detaoled concerning brain and synapse medchnismes, the "psychic matter", the mood "the existential intensity". But, as first orrder approxomation, my picture of the difficukty to build in in productive manner the unused or only dream used parts of the neocortexseem to be the direction to search. The selfdenial gives much pain, hegel said, you can patch a carpet, but not a self esteem. That is really tragical an d harmful. My solution with th lacjk of synapsis in the neck, whichgive way to new neurotransmitters and devoids the depessive or negative machine of its powewr is in this respect really important. Also the point of isolation , in your last email, if you take a development fdor "yourself" or a more "deterrioalized subjectivation" is hard, for one has more to o with this negative machine. Greetings Harald Wenk PS: I am informaend that the research foumndation "pegasus" bought some learning software from a company in Switzerland which remimnds me to the things you are doing. Has it an influence on youe work? -----Original Message----- From: deleuze-guattari-bounces-AT-lists.driftline.org [mailto:deleuze-guattari-bounces-AT-lists.driftline.org]On Behalf Of .+oot8am wakeup Sent: Mittwoch, 27.

But depression really is a pleasurable experience which is why it spirals down, it has momentum to do this and the brain "wants" to experience depression. Mostly I think this is part of the hydraulic nature of the brain, well jello-ish nature. The linear peels of experience cascade upon our psyche, which is made of little bits of protein combinations (an assemblege of asterix & jacks + hexes et etc). I imagine something close to subatomic particle physics, where the different combination of parts rely on their number for what kind of circuit is created (re: going from 2-to-3-etc). I do not say this to be mechanistic, no, but maybe there can be seen a "negativ mechanism" vs a positiv vitalism, which would suggest a way that "lack", that is negative experience, can be made from a process of addition of parts, not subtraction of parts. This is how the desiring-machine is distinguished from the BWO. Even in particle physics the concept of anti-matter is very silly, yet it is used as an explanation for how it is that the data does not add up correctly, becoming a virtual negative value that works properly in equations but as such does not ever get experienced in reality, until one has convinced themselves of such experiences by printing color-coded maps and such things like that which are very real. After Artaud I hope to read Guattari's Chaosmosis. -cb _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org
