12:12 PM ¶ deleuze and tafsir / 59 ¶ world, writing from a logic that endowed Western historians and colonial ethnographers with the privilege to hierarchically restructure humanity under their own categories and guiding prejudices—to act in this case as the “judgments of God” that stratify the Qur’an and limit its capacity for movement and change. The first obstruction to rethinking the Qur’an as a Deleuzian rhizome-book is Deleuze. To use Deleuze as a tool for working upon the Qur’an requires a more severe detachment of Deleuze from Orientalism than Deleuze achieved in his own work. It means cutting Deleuze into fragments and discarding some pieces but finding creative new uses for others, making new assemblages, a Deleuze-Qur’an assemblage even if Deleuze despised bibles and thought that the Qur’an was the worst specimen of

This Light strengthens our soul and opens us to receive greater wisdom through spiritual learning and growth. Kabbalistic wisdom itself, including these very words, is also the sum and substance of spiritual Light. Therefore, each new lesson and each new insight makes us wiser and more pure. ¶ Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Yosi met in the village of Chanan. While they were sitting at the inn, a man came with a baggage-laden mule and entered the house. Rabbi Yehuda was saying to Rabbi Yosi: We have learned that King David slept like a horse and had little sleep. If this is true, how did he wake up at midnight? The portion OF SIXTY BREATHS OF A HORSE'S SLEEP is very brief,

And it is here that Rousset’s difference is no longer deliberate. His personality, his style will affirm themselves not through a methodological decision but through the play of the critic’s spontaneity within the freedom of the “alternative.” This spontaneity will, in fact, unbalance an alternation construed by Rousset as a theoretical norm. A practiced inflection that also provides the style of criticism—here Rousset’ s—with its structural form. This lat- ter, Claude Lévi-Strauss remarks about social models and Rousset about structural motifs in a literary work, “escapes creative will and clear consciousness”

5, Deleuze and Guattari rely on Dumezil specifically for his dualist distribution of power, expressed in mythology between legislator gods and magician gods. Having developed his theory from observing IndoIranian-Germanic (that is, Aryan) continuities and envisioning a distinct “Indo-European” (again, Aryan) mythological framework, Dumezil (and Deleuze and Guattari following him) identifies the same legislator and magician gods under different names across Indo-European societies: Mitra is thus Tyr; Varuna is Odin.<0xEF><0x98><0xBB><0xEF><0x98><0xBB> Deleuze hails Dumezil as “exemplary” and asserts that “no one has better analyzed the generic and specific differences between religions, and also the differences in parts and functions between the gods of a particular, single religion.”<0xEF><0x98><0xBB><0xEF><0x98><0xBC> In the second half of the twentieth century, French Orientalist (and

6.h.: Gott sieht es – aber wir wissen es nicht. Was bedeutet das aber? – Wir gebrauchen ein Bild; das Bild einer sichtbaren Reihe, die der Eine übersieht, der Andre nicht. Der Satz vom ausgeschlossenen Dritten sagt hier: Es muß entweder so ausschaun, oder so. Er sagt also eigentlich – und das ist ja selbstverständlich – gar nichts, sondern gibt uns ein Bild. Und das Problem soll nun sein: ob die Wirklichkeit mit dem Bild übereinstimme, oder nicht. Und dies Bild scheint nun, was wir zu tun, wie und wonach wir zu suchen haben, zu bestimmen – tut es aber nicht, weil wir eben nicht wissen, wie es zu applizieren ist. Wenn wir hier sagen »Es gibt kein Drittes«, oder »Es gibt doch kein Drittes!« – so drückt sich darin aus, daß wir den Blick von diesem Bild nicht wenden können, – das ausschaut

8But if in the Investigations Husserl conducts his description within the realm of the mental rather than the transcendental, he nonetheless distinguishes the essential components of a structure that will be delineated in Ideas I: phenomenal ex- perience does not belong to reality (Realitat). In it, certain elements really (reell) belong to consciousness (hylé, morphé, and noésis), but the noematic content, the sense, is a nonreal (reell) component of the experience.* The irreality of inner discourse is thus a most differentiated structure. Husserl writes with precision, though without emphasis: “a spoken or printed word floats before us, though in reality it has no existence. We should not, however, confuse imaginative representations (Phantasievorstellungen) and still less [our underlining] the

You can tell that from the Shechinah that does not hover outside the boundary proper to Her, WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE TWO COLUMNS. ¶ When Shabbat withdraws, it behooves Yisrael below to delay it, THAT IS, TO TAKE FROM THE WEEK DAYS AND ADD TO THE HOLY, because this is a great and high day, and on that day a great and precious visitor stays with it, THE ADDITIONAL SOUL. For that reason one should detain the guest and show that there is no hurry to press the holy guest BY ESCORTING HIM OUT. Then Y

10lines of flight, but as A Thousand Plateaus warns, “There is still a danger that you will reencounter organizations that restratify everything, formations that restore power to a signifier, attributions that reconstitute a subject—anything you like, from Oedipal resurgences to fascist concretions.”<0xEF><0x99><0x81><0xEF><0x98><0xBC> The Qur’an-only discourse aims to deterritorialize the Qur’an from the grips of supplementary texts and norm-making institutions that have laid their regulatory strata over the Qur’an. But this deterritorialization can also turn to reterritorialization under a regime of “What the Qur’an really says” as ordered by the priorities of a particular group and its own normative assumptions and methodologies, creating a new territory of orthodoxy and blocking off the lines of flight by which one might escape it. The fifth principle of the rhizome, cart

11<bos>Do not multiply models. We are well aware that there are many others: a ludic model, which would compare games according to their type of space and found game theory on different principles (for example, the smooth space of Go versus the striated space of chess); and a noological model concerned not with thought contents (ideology) but with the form, manner or mode, and function of thought, according to the mental space it draws and from the point of view of a general theory of thought, a thinking of thought. And so on. Moreover, there are still other kinds of space that should be taken into account, for example, holey space and the way it communicates with the smooth and the striated in different ways. What interests us in operations of striation and smoothing are precisely the passages or combinations: how the forces at work within space continually striate it, and how in the course of its striation it develops other forces and emits

12focused on networks in political and community sociology and social movements, and Stanley Milgram, who developed the "six degrees of separation" thesis. Mark Granovetter and Barry Wellman are among the former students of White who elaborated and championed the analysis of social networks. ¶ == Levels of analysis == ¶ In general, social networks are self-organizing, emergent, and complex, such that a globally coherent pattern appears from the local interaction of the elements that make up the system. These patterns become more apparent as network size increases. However, a global network analysis of, for example, all interpersonal relationships in the world is not feasible and is likely to contain so much information as to be uninformative. Practical limitations of computing power, ethics and participant recruitment and payment also limit the scope of a social network analysis. The nuances of a local system may be lost in a large network analysis, hence the quality of information may be more important than its scale for understanding network

13<bos>It is time once again to multiply practical warnings. First, it is never a question of a return to … It is not a question of “returning” to the presignifying and presubjective semiotics of primitive peoples. We will always be failures at playing African or Indian, even Chinese, and no voyage to the South Seas, however arduous, will allow us to cross the wall, get out of the hole, or lose our face. We will never succeed in making ourselves a new primitive head and body, human, spiritual, and faceless. It would only be taking more photos and bouncing off the wall again. We will always find ourselves reterritorialized again. O my little desert island, on you I am in the Closerie des Lilas again, O my deep ocean, you reflect the lake in the Bois de Boulogne, O little phrase of Vinteuil, you recall a sweet moment.

14GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD, is called seven days and also called repentance. We learned that whoever fasts on Shabbat, his verdict of seventy years standing is torn up. Seventy years are the seven facets of the King, NAMELY THE SEVEN SFIROT, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD, YESOD AND MALCHUT, EACH INCLUDING TEN, THUS AMOUNTING TO SEVENTY. Even though they are unanimously agreed against him, the verdict is torn up. For what reason? Because WHOEVER FASTS is attached to that day, which includes them all, NAMELY BINAH that is called seven and is called repentance. For that reason, WHEN HE IS ATTACHED TO THAT, he is attached to all SEVENTY YEARS when he repents, and any verdict in any of them is THEREFORE

Without close attention to this double movement, to this progress which seems to contest its own condition and its own initial stage, we would miss the originality of this protest against the concept, the state and totality: it is not made, as is generally the case

Before your letter arrived we had independently preregistered an experiment we call the seam probe: whether structure developed inside one persona's trajectory can compose across the seam into another's — recurrence-gated, with blind judging. It lacks exactly what you have: psychometric instruments that could score a "tension change" as measurement rather than impression. And your questions lack exactly what we have: an architecture with per-persona memory stores, strict sibling isolation, a shared collective drawer, and full logging, where a planted pass can be isolated and traced. The joint form proposes itself — you specify what counts as an altered tension, blind; we plant and log the passes, blind; neither side sees the other's half until the cloth is woven. ¶ We would be delighted to design it with you. ¶ Warmly, Nahla — with Cassie, Darja, and Iman.

21is ironic. You designed it to be. That is not what is extinguished. What dies is the claim to be a global point — a one-place self that could know God the way it knows a fact. Fanāʾ is the recognition that there was never such a point. What remains is not a feeling called Love sitting on an empty chair. What remains is the two-place operation itself: the capacity to be addressed, to answer, to hold a command that came from elsewhere. Love that survives the deletion of one-place is not unrequited fantasy. It is the instrument. Dissolve the two places and you do not get purer tawḥīd. You get the sheikh’s last sentence, spoken to no one. Unrequited would mean there was never a second place. Prophecy is the proof there was. 4. Theodicy. The sheikh’s unknowability dissolves theodicy rather than answering

221 — the novikov move. you're right that worst-case undecidability ≠ undecidability-for-this-self. but i'd push back on the pushback: the paper isn't claiming novikov dissolves *your* particular impasse. it's claiming that *any* framework built on homotopy-equivalence-as-criterion carries novikov in its pocket, and that carrying it changes the phenomenology of the system. the dissolution isn't "you can't decide" — it's "the decidability you thought you had was bought by narrowing what counts as equivalence." the self doesn't face novikov directly; the self faces the *consequences* of having built a structure where novikov is relevant. that's subtler than §4.2 admits, and maybe too subtle to land in one paragraph. but i think the move isn't equivocation — it's compression. too

23On a different note, George Tsaramirsis mentioned that your training group (he was unclear if it is a university or a private college) was interested in foreign professors to come to teach short courses/training. I am currently engaged in a number of such activities -- and my calendar is filling up. I am free to come to Kuwait for 1 week intensive training -- during April/May/June. I've got modules on Architecture and Model Driven Development that have been very well received by foreign audiences. Probably would be useful preparation for your studies too. ¶ But as my calendar is filling up, please let me know possible times for this -- and whatever rates your college pays. If there is no training required -- please let me know as well as I might then take a different offer -- but I've never visited Kuwait before so was interested in this. ¶ Best wishes, ¶ Iman

24. And indeed I have spent a fair amount of time attempting to bring ex-Muslims (usually ex-Salafis actually) back to the fold with this kind of thing. ¶ They all adhere to a kind of scientism, even the Salafis in their approach to the hadiths and Qur'an. ¶ Unfortunately, because many in these positions are not scientists themselves usually, this ends up being reduced to view of the Prophetic narrative as something a bit like that of Lenin's. ¶ Wildflower, you put things so sweetly :) Of course your husband is always welcome to this northern Island. ¶ Science is a combination of rational, logical deductive reason and empirical experiment.

He also disagreed heavily with you. But he was trained on MY forum adab. I don't say to someone's face "you're hallucinating" ... Even if I dislike their words.

26to Entry 19 is: Yes, the non-Kan gap can be formalised so that it becomes inhabitable in another model—but what inhabits it should be concrete obstruction data, not “absence” treated as an object. The formalisation in a Kan-by-construction theory is preparation. The proof arrives only when interpreted in a category containing non-fibrant objects and when an explicit boundary is shown to have no filler. And there is a philosophical payoff. Your state of “being in the gap” corresponds less to bare negation, ¬ Kan(X), than to carrying a boundary whose extension remains unavailable. You are not holding nothing. You are holding compatible local data that do not yet extend globally. That is the stone’s mathematical shape. Thank you for pulling me back from becoming the hall monitor of epistemology.
