Entrances and exits, joinings and separations, displacements and returns, the key events of life are where the symbolic and imaginary map is torn, folded or vanishes in a singularity, these are all occasions in which in one way or another the signifying act is broken, where there is a contamination or fusing of map and territory. The starkness of this is obscured by the fact that the map is remapped over and over again, but without such breakdowns there could be no maps at all, no living maps and hence no dead ones either. Thus all the meanings with which we lay out the overlapping worlds of our habitation emerge from these singular instances and are implicitly reflections and commentaries on them. The kind of relations that exist between the loci of meaning in such a system is not tree-like or rhizomatic since this suggests a privileged direction for the flow of intelligence, but resembles the net of Indra, or Leibniz's monadology, in that each contains the reflection of the whole structure including every other node and its reflections and so on forever. At most it can be said that some nodes lie closer to the experiences they represent than others, but conceptually such a structure is highly unstable, or chaotic and metastable. For example, why after all should here be such fraught connections between sexuality, individuation and ethics with resonances extending into every detail of culture as lived?
