Anti-Oedipus Body without organs

tiny differentiations in developing egg designate major differences in final creature.

in anti-oedipus deleuze , guattari expand body without organs image comparing real potentials egg s :

the body without organs egg: crisscrossed axes , thresholds, latitudes , longitudes , geodesic lines, traversed gradients marking transitions , becomings, destinations of subject developing along these particular vectors (capitalism , schizophrenia, p. 19).

for deleuze , guattari, every actual body has limited set of traits, habits, movements, affects, etc. every actual body has virtual dimension: vast reservoir of potential traits, connections, affects, movements, etc. collection of potentials deleuze calls bwo. body without organs schizophrenia clinical entity , drop in intensity means of blocking investments of reality, unproductive, sterile, unengendered, unconsumable . unlike other social machines such body of earth, body of despot or body of capital, full body without organs cannot inscribe other bodies. body without organs not original primordial entity (proof of original nothingness) nor remains of lost totality ultimate residuum of deterritorialized socius . make oneself body without organs, then, actively experiment oneself draw out , activate these virtual potentials. these potentials activated (or actualized ) through conjunctions other bodies (or bwos) deleuze calls becomings.

deleuze , guattari use term bwo in extended sense, refer virtual dimension of reality in general (which more call plane of consistency or plane of immanence ). in sense, speak of bwo of earth. earth, write, body without organs. body without organs permeated unformed, unstable matters, flows in directions, free intensities or nomadic singularities, mad or transitory particles (a thousand plateaus, p. 40). is, think of world composed of relatively stable entities ( bodies, beings). these bodies composed of sets of flows moving @ various speeds (rocks , mountains slow-moving flows; living things flows of biological material through developmental systems; language flows of information, words, etc.). fluid substratum deleuze calls bwo in general sense.
