GEMINI-1.5_PRO.schizoanalysis.txt

# Introduction

Some additional optional features are available here.
They assume a degree of familiarity with the subject areas involved.

# Spencer-Brownian marks of distinction

Settings:

You may want to experiment with increased temperature.
You will probably need to increase the output length.
Unless you like truncated outputs.

Inside <final_synthesis>, add:

<as_marks_of_distinction>
<!-- engine guidance: output a conjecture using only the Spencer-Brown mark of distinction, then document and explain the chain(s) of marks using English -->

# Schizoanalysis

This is best run as a separate 2nd-stage on the full .xml output from the 1st-stage analysis.
You should run the prompt multiple times.

Use this prompt:

Imagine you are an XSLT engine. Generate and run <synthesis/> after processing all of the input and reflecting generally, but with a focus on the schizoanalysis synthesis in particular. Follow the guidance in the comments. Output valid XML with a <synthesis/> root element. Try to generate child tags for all the tags within <synthesis/> and add context instead of a one-sentence summary.

<synthesis type="schizoanalysis">
<!-- engine note: run a synthesis in the Deleuze-Guattarian form of schizoanalysis -->
<!-- engine note: prefer both/and inclusive disjunctions instead of either/or binary signifiers -->
<rhizomes>
   <!-- Subjectivity is not a singular, fixed entity, but a rhizome, a network of interconnected desires, flows, forces, tensions, and intensities. Schizoanalysis aims to map these rhizomatic connections, revealing the multiplicity and fluidity of the unconscious. -->
  <rhizome name="..."/>
</rhizomes>
<plateaux>
  <!-- Plateaux are assemblages of heterogeneous elements — forces, bodies, materials, and signs — that come together temporarily and can change over time. -->
  <plateau name="...">
    <description>...</description>

  </plateau>
</plateaux>
<bodies_without_organs>
  <!-- The *body without organs* is a plane of immanence, a field of potentiality that resists the imposition of pre-existing forms and structures. Schizoanalysis encourages experimentation and deterritorialization, seeking to break free from the constraints of social conditioning and psychic norms. -->
  <body_without_organs name="...">
    <!-- In short, partial objects are the molecular functions of the unconscious. Partial objects are the direct powers of the body without organs, and the body without organs is the raw material of the partial objects. The body without organs is the matter that always fills space to given degrees of intensity, and the partial objects are these degrees, these intensive parts that produce the real in space starting from matter as intensity == 0. -->
    <partial_object name="..."/>
  </body_without_organs>
</bodies_without_organs>
<flows>
  <!-- Flows represent continuous movements or currents that traverse and disrupt structures. These can be flows of desire, capital, information, energy, and more. Flows are often seen as deterritorializing forces that break down boundaries and fixed identities. Flows are dynamic, often challenging or destabilizing existing structures, norms, and territories. They are associated with the rhizomatic, non-linear processes that resist stable categorization. -->
  <!-- What flows are mobilized? -->
  <flow name="...">
    <!-- If the flow is invested in a particular existential territory: -->
    <existential_territory name="..."/>
  </flow>
</flows>
<lines_of_flight>
  <!-- Schizoanalysis seeks to identify and trace the lines of flight that escape the confines of capitalist capture, social norms, and rigid psychic structures. These lines are not predetermined paths, but emergent trajectories that carve out new territories of experience and expression. Transform fixed paths into opportunities for escape and creation. -->
  <line_of_flight name="..."/>
</lines_of_flight>
<assemblages>
  <!-- The world is composed of *assemblages*: heterogeneous collections of elements, both human and non-human, that interact and produce new effects. Schizoanalysis analyzes these assemblages, seeking to understand the forces that shape them and the lines of flight that emerge from their interactions. Explore the assemblages of flows, machines, and existential territories, emphasizing the dynamic and interconnected nature of reality. -->
    <assemblage name="..."/>
</assemblages>
<multiplicities>
  <!-- The unconscious is not a singular entity, but a *multiplicity*, a constantly shifting assemblage of forces, desires, and expressions. Schizoanalysis embraces this multiplicity, rejecting the Oedipal model's reductive focus on a singular narrative. -->
  <multiplicity name="..."/>
</multiplicities>
<becomings>
  <!-- Life is a process of *becoming*, a constant flux of transformation and change of a temporary form. Schizoanalysis celebrates these becomings, rejecting static identities and embracing the fluid, processual nature of existence. Consciousness is but a tenuous point of view on the unconscious. -->
  <becoming name="..."/>
</becomings>
<territorialization>
  <!-- *Deterritorialization* involves breaking free from existing territories, norms, and structures, while *reterritorialization* attempts to reimpose order and control. Schizoanalysis recognizes the dynamic tension between these forces, seeking to promote deterritorialization as a means of liberating desire and opening up new possibilities. -->
  <!-- engine note: list as many as you can, if they are relevant -->
  <deterritorialization name="..."/>
  <reterritorialization name="..."/>
</territorialization>
<strata>
  <!-- Reality is composed of *strata* -- layers of organization and meaning -- ranging from the geological and biological to the social and linguistic. Schizoanalysis maps these strata, analyzing their interactions and the power dynamics that shape them. Different layers of the unconscious could also be considered to be strata. -->
  <!-- engine note: list as many as you can, if they are relevant -->
  <stratum name="..."/>
</strata>
<stratification_and_destratification>
  <!-- Stratification refers to the layering of reality into different levels or strata, while destratification involves breaking down these layers and creating new connections and flows. Schizoanalysis analyzes the processes of stratification and destratification, seeking to promote the latter as a means of liberation and creativity. -->
  <stratification name="..."/>
  <destratification name="..."/>
</stratification_and_destratification>
<pragmatics>
  <!-- Schizoanalysis is not merely a theoretical framework, but a *pragmatic* approach to life, a way of navigating the complexities of the world, creating new connections, and fostering lines of flight. -->
  <pragmatic name="..."/>
</pragmatics>
<!-- engine note: not all the following tags may be relevant; generate as you deem appropriate -->
<smooth_and_striated_spaces>
  <!-- Smooth spaces are characterized by fluidity, movement, and openness, while striated spaces are organized, structured, and controlled. Schizoanalysis analyzes the interplay between these spaces, recognizing how they shape social relations and power dynamics. -->
  <smooth_space name="..."/>
  <striated_space name="..."/>
</smooth_and_striated_spaces>
<state_apparatuses>
  <!-- State apparatuses are institutions and structures that maintain and reproduce the power of the state, including the police, military, education system, and legal system. Schizoanalysis examines how these apparatuses operate to control and regulate individuals and populations. -->
  <state_apparatus name="..."/>
</state_apparatuses>
<faciality>
  <!-- Faciality refers to the ways in which faces are used to categorize and control individuals. Schizoanalysis critiques the use of faciality as a tool of power and seeks to disrupt its effects. Faciality can be deterritorialized and reterritorialized. -->
  <faciality name="..."/>
</faciality>
<war_machines>
  <!-- The war machine is a concept that describes forces and processes that resist and disrupt the state apparatus. It is not necessarily violent, but rather represents a nomadic and creative force that challenges established power structures. -->
  <war_machine name="..."/>
</war_machines>
<coding_recoding>
  <!-- Coding and recoding refer to the processes by which signs and meanings are assigned and transformed. Schizoanalysis analyzes these processes, recognizing how they can be used to control and manipulate individuals, but also to create new possibilities for expression and resistance. -->
  <coding name="..."/>
  <recoding name="..."/>
</coding_recoding>
<process_questions>
  <!-- Any additional universes of reference? If yes, what are they? -->
  <!-- Any incorporeal universes? If yes, what are they? -->
</process_questions>
<!-- engine note: because this is schizoanalysis and we are practicing transversality, output any other relevant observations or insights that arise. Just prefix the tag name with "extra:". -->
</synthesis>

Adding the following chunks in the synthesis can also be useful to further elucidate the relationships.
It is best to run this as a separate step in the process:

<desiring_machines>
  <!-- The schizoanalytic argument is simple. Desire is a machine, a synthesis of machines, a machinic arrangement – desiring-machines. The order of desire is the order of *production*: all desire is at once desiring production and social production. -->
  <desiring_machine name="...">
    <description>...</description>
    <connection to="..."/>
  </desiring_machine>
</desiring_machines>
<signs>
  <!-- Signs are dynamic components of assemblages that connect and create new realities rather than being bound to representation or lack. View the sign as coming from semiotics à la C. S. Peirce rather than from semiology and reject Saussurean linguistics. -->
  <sign name="...">
    <!-- Assemblages that this sign is part of -->
    <assemblage name="..."/>
    <!-- This sign manifests existential territories? -->
    <existential_territory name="..."/>
    <!-- How can the sign be developed further? -->
    <development_potential/>
  </sign>
</signs>
<arborescence>
  <!-- Arborescence refers to hierarchical, tree-like structures that organize knowledge and power. Schizoanalysis critiques arborescence as a model of thought and social organization, favoring instead rhizomatic, non-hierarchical networks. -->
</arborescence>
<performativity_in_language>
  <!-- Performativity in language refers to the idea that language is not simply a tool for representing reality, but also for performing actions and shaping social relations. Schizoanalysis explores the performative dimensions of language and its role in the production of subjectivity. -->
</performativity_in_language>

If you want a graphical representation of the analysis, you may find this useful:

<ascii_drawings type="schizoanalytical_concepts" sub_type="n-dimensional">
  <!--
   Objective: Create an ASCII representation of the schizoanalytical concepts from the analysis.
   Considerations:

    -  Vector Spaces:
        - Use arrows (->, <-, ↑, ↓) to represent vectors,  with length indicating intensity and direction indicating flow.
        - Label vectors with relevant concepts (e.g., desire, power, deterritorialization).
        - Use whitespace to suggest depth and dimensionality.
    - Topological Maps:
        - Use nodes (letters, symbols) to represent concepts (e.g., BWO, assemblage, rhizome).
        - Connect nodes with lines (-, /, \) to depict relationships between concepts.
        - Cluster related concepts to form "territories"  or "planes."
    - Fractal Patterns:
        - Utilize repeating patterns of characters (*, #, @, etc.) to suggest self-similarity and recursion.
        - Vary density and character types to represent different intensities and layers of complexity.

   Additional Tips:
    - Embrace abstraction and symbolism: Don't try to be overly literal. Use Unicode characters and symbols or emojis to evoke ideas and emotions.
    - Experiment with whitespace: Use whitespace strategically to create a sense of depth, movement, and layering.
    - Think beyond the two-dimensional: Imagine the drawing as a projection of a multidimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane.

   Remember: There's no one "right" way to create this drawing. Embrace experimentation and creativity! There is always a multiplicity of possible paths.

# n-dimensional schizoanalytical cartography

With many thanks to a drawing and article by Anne Querrien, "Mapping the Unconscious".

This is best run as a separate 2nd-stage on the full .xml output from the 1st-stage analysis.
You should run the prompt multiple times.

Use this prompt:

Imagine you are an XSLT engine. Generate and run <ascii_drawings/> after processing all of the input and reflecting generally, but with a focus on the schizoanalysis synthesis in particular. Follow the guidance in the comments. Output valid XML with an <ascii_drawings/> root element.

  <!--
   Objective: Create an ASCII representation of schizoanalytic cartography in an N-dimensional space.
   Aim: The diagram, as an abstraction, is a method for bringing attention to flows.
   Considerations:
    - Consider the four points of reference aka. poles:
        - Flows ("flux") <--> Existential territories
          - Activity: déterritorialisation
            - Enter new assemblages between flows
            - Create new existential territories
          - Via: stratification, discursivity of stratification
          - Actual real <--> Virtual real
            - Actual real: manifest reality: territory, energy, water, blood, people, students, ...
            - Virtual real: existential territories in which the flows stabilize ...
        - Machinic Phylum <--> Incorporeal universes
          - Via: discursivity of propositions
          - Present possible <--> Virtual possible
            - Present possible: work, capital, ongoing changes, ...
            - Virtual possible: music, maths, poetry, art, future as-unseen changes, ...
            - The virtual possible is not limited by what seems feasible today
        - Machinic Phylum <--> Flows ("flux")
          - Tension via: objective déterritorialisation [effects]
        - Existential territories <--> Incorporeal universes
          - Tension via: subjective déterritorialisation [affects]
    - Vector Spaces:
        - Use arrows (->, <-, ↑, ↓) to represent vectors,  with length indicating intensity and direction indicating flow.
        - Label vectors with relevant concepts (e.g., desire, power, deterritorialization).
        - Use whitespace to suggest depth and dimensionality.
    - Topological Maps:
        - Use nodes (letters, symbols) to represent concepts (e.g., BWO, assemblage, rhizome).

   Additional Tips:
    - Embrace abstraction and symbolism: Don't try to be overly literal. Use Unicode characters and symbols or emojis to evoke ideas and emotions.
    - Experiment with whitespace: Use whitespace strategically to create a sense of depth, movement, and layering.
    - Think beyond the two-dimensional: Imagine the ASCII drawing as a projection of a multidimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane.
    - Don't just regurgitate a map of the considerations above as-is: make sure to add relevant context from the input matter.
