concrete rules and abstract machines

The fold is inseparable from wind. Ventilated by the fan, the fold is no longer made of matter through which we see, but of the soul in which we read ‘plis jaunts de la pensée’ [yellow folds of thought], the book or the monad with multiple leaves. Now it contains every fold, since the combinations of its pages are infinite; but it includes them in its closure, and all of its actions are internal. However, these are not two worlds: the fold of the newspaper, dust or mist, inanity, is a fold of circumstance that must have as its new mode of correspondence with the book, the fold of the Event, the unity that creates a being, a multiplicity that makes for inclusion, a collectivity having become consistent.
