Models

It seems maybe not so fortuitous that in the Smooth and the Striated we come up against - once again - this question of space. Indeed it begins with an oposition (but should we really call it that) between a kind of Cartesianism and something else, something less predictable. An polarization announced already at the beginning of the fold. Here at least wind the question of model explict. And of course multiple. There is not one. And yet a mathematics (trajectory, continuous varation, etc) runs through the text as a kind of spine, from one model to the next. Is this then a master model? Is it a conceptual scaffolding? What is compared to what? Stasis and mobility. For a start.
