different/ciation

names a process—actually, it names the twin processes of the real: the virtual and the actual.
Were we to heed Deleuze’s recommendation and opt for a philosophical language revolving
around infinitives, the temptation of mistaking ‘different/ciation’ for a noun will be prevented:
we will then choose to think in terms of 'different/ciating'. A new ontology would then be possible,
built on the intuition that ‘to be is to different/ciate and to be different/ciated. ... Indeed, the reason
for the grapheme, t/c, is that, in Deleuze’s ontology, processes are made of two
intertwining flows—the one virtual, the other actual—with both flows being real.
