Einzige Becoming-Imperceptible? The Imperceptible is the immanent end of
becoming, its cosmic
  formula. For example, Matheson's Shrinking Man passes through the kingdoms
of nature, slips
   between molecules, to become an unfindable particle in infinite
meditation on the infinite. Paul
 Morand's Monsieur Zéro flees the larger countries, crosses the smallest
ones, descends the scale of
  States, establishes an anonymous society in Lichtenstein of which he is
the only member, and dies
     imperceptible, forming the particle 0 with his fingers: "I am a man who
flees by swimming
 underwater, and at whom all the world's rifles fire..... I must no longer
offer a target." But what does
  becoming-imperceptible signifiy, coming at the end of all the molecular
becomings that begin with
             becoming-woman? Becoming imperceptible means many things....
