They see the world as a web of relationships, where everything is connected and they highlight how new and unexpected qualities can emerge from these connections. For example, a community's culture can arise from the interactions between its members and their environment. They stress that the relationships within an assemblage are not fixed; they can change and adapt over time. Just like how people's roles and connections within a family can evolve. | They see the world as a web of relationships, where everything is connected and they highlight how new and unexpected qualities can emerge from these connections.

Deleuze and Guattari develop assemblage theory, drawing inspiration from dynamical systems theory, which studies how material systems self-organize. They extend this theory to encompass social, linguistic, and philosophical systems. | Deleuze and Guattari develop assemblage theory, drawing inspiration from dynamical systems theory, which studies how material systems self-organize.

1. Assemblage: An assemblage is a complex constellation of singularities. These singularities are unique elements, and when they come together, they create an assemblage, like a puzzle with diverse pieces that fit together in specific ways. | 1.

6. Reterritorialization: Reterritorialization is the opposite of deterritorialization. It's the process by which new components enter the assemblage and create new connections. It's like when new members join a group, bringing fresh ideas and perspectives. | 6. Reterritorialization: Reterritorialization is the opposite of deterritorialization.

'''<big>Lines of Flight</big>''' | |||
A "line of flight" is one of three key aspects in assemblages | |||
- Think of it as a way for these systems to adapt and change in response to new things happening in society, politics, or people's minds. | |||
Note: In French, the original term is "''ligne de fuite"'' in which "fuite" not only means "fleeing" but also suggests things like flowing, disappearing, or vanishing. So, it's about change and movement. | |||
The concept is used to define a rhizome. A rhizome is a type of assemblage. | |||
The "line of flight" is like an abstract line or process that makes these systems change and connect with other systems. It's what enables them to adapt. It shows that these systems have a certain reality or shape, and they can't just add new dimensions. They need to transform through the "line of flight" if they want to change. | |||
It also lets these systems exist on a single plane of consistency, no matter how many dimensions they have. This means they can be flattened onto one level, making them more adaptable. | |||
Examples of lines of flight include: | |||
- a political movement that started with one goal but adapted to new social and political changes, showing its "line of flight." | |||
- smartphones started with basic functions but adapted with new features to meet changing user needs. | |||
- your career might change as you adapt to new opportunities and challenges, showing your personal "line of flight." | |||
- ecosystems adapt to environmental changes, like rising sea levels, by changing their composition, demonstrating a "line of flight" in nature's complex systems. | |||
In simple terms, the "line of flight" is all about how complex systems adapt and change in response to new things happening in the world, allowing them to stay relevant and transform as needed. | |||

- There is a very common card read in Deleuze frameworks in debate, the Deleuze 68 Card. Debaters will often read an independent voter on this card since Deleuze signed a petition to remove age of consent laws in France. | - There is a very common card read in Deleuze frameworks in debate, the Deleuze 68 Card.

Deleuze and/or Guattari are one of the more challenging philosophies to understand-its not recommended to get into it unless you already have a good grasp of other philosophical concepts. In short, Deleuze should NOT be the first philosopher you read. Below in order of level of reading: | |||
