Only when Deleuze is summarizing things (at the end) do I have any sort of a vague notion of what was contained in the preceding 30 pages. So let's discuss the end where he lays out six points relating to the fold and my attempt at a translation of the various representations of the fold contained therein:
1. The fold: as a condition of continuity and infinity.
2. The inside and the outside: a separation and division.
3. The high and the low: a dialectic condition.
4. The unfold: not the act, but rather the lack of a fold.
5. Textures: a multiplicity of folds.
6. The paradigm: the framework within which the fold is considered.
In this case, Leibniz and the Baroque are the framework of choice for his entire discussion. I think the above needs to be expanded upon considerably, but it's a beginning.

this is fine -- its maddening, and supposed to be, i mean, de-rationalizing thought. but key in all of this is the fold as a model of meaning. the question is: what is the model of the fold based on -- where, in other words, does it come from?
