Thanks for that Paul. It did in fact clear something up for me.

I am currently working on the 'Machinic Heterogeneis' chapter of Chaosmosis
from which you quoted ( I'd better get on with it!), so if I have any
thoughts I'll let you know.

When G. says that there's no ontological foundation for existential
machines, isn't he just reminding the reader that his metaphysics doesn't
work like those that ground, that belong to the philosophy of
representation. While the machines have no ontological ground, they do have
an ontological unground, groundlessness, universal 'ungrounding' as Deleuze
calls it in DR - ie, difference in itself.
