M&D - Chapter 19 - going after Kronos?

[Jerome Park]

I know little of astronomical clocks, but, "split time" makes me think of a
stopwatch function, developed around the same time, with and by friends of
Newton.

A split or broken heart? Or mind?  Virtual, more or less...



 1912, from Modern Latin, literally "a splitting of the mind," from German
Schizophrenie, coined in 1910 by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler
(1857-1939), from Greek skhizein "to split" (see schizo-
<http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=schizo-&allowed_in_frame=0>) +
phren (genitivephrenos) "diaphragm, heart, mind," of unknown origin.


In *Bergsonism* (1966), Deleuze develops the ideas of virtuality and
multiplicity that will serve as the backbone of his later work.

[...]

As we have seen, the virtual, as genetic ground of the actual, cannot
resemble that which it grounds; thus, if we are confronted with actual
identities in experience, then the virtual ground of those identities must
be purely differential. Deleuze adopts “multiplicity” from Bergson as the
name for such a purely differential field. In this usage, Deleuze later
clarifies, “multiplicity” designates the multiple as a substantive, rather
than as a predicate. The multiple as predicate generates a set of
philosophical problems under the rubric of “the one and the many” (a thing
is one or multiple, one and multiple, and so on). With multiplicity, or the
multiple as substantive, the question of the relation between the
predicates one/multiple is replaced by the question of distinguishing types
of multiplicities (as with Bergson's distinction of qualitative and
quantitative multiplicities in *Time and Free Will*). A typological
difference between substantive multiplicities, in short, is substituted for
the dialectical opposition of the one and the multiple.
