Thirty-Fourth Series of Primary Order and Secondary Organization

"Primary order" and "secondary organization" get more play in The Fold.  (cf. this post, the two levels of the Baroque house, etc.)

Page 239: More on the phantasm as echo chamber, involuting and projecting domino-like effects.

Page 240: On the yin and the yang: two series between which a "struggle" is "waged".

"Nonsense functions as the zero point of thought." (241) (cf. Greg Flaxman's essay on "Cinema Year Zero")  Confer with other posts on nonsense, especially this one.

The two moments: the "surface zone" and the "stages of depth". (245) Imagine Bergson's memory cone.   The point of the cone inscribes events which are singularities ("points of fixation", "beacons", attractors).  These singularities exist in a gyre of stratified depth, locked in a 3-dimensional gyre, waiting to be released to the surface.  Within the Pascal diagram, imagine the triangle wrapped around into a cone, performing in the exact same way.

Axiom: The revelation of the univocal is the Event.  (248)

"The perpetual entwining...constitutes the logic of sense." (248)
