Counter Actualization x Divergent Actualization

“Deleuze calls this ability of topological forms to give rise to many different physical instantiations, a process of “divergent actualization”, taking the idea from French philosopher Henri Bergson who, at the turn of the century, wrote a series of texts where he criticized the inability of the science of his time to think the new, the truly novel”

  1. I am so sorry to admit that I have a hard time even to begin to understand, but I still find it an interesting notion that science has grappled with new ideas and approaches back then. The question is where we stand today.

    I just heard moments ago about about the Nobel prize for achievements in physiology and medicine being awarded to Robert G. Edwards.
