Singularity

"What is an ideal event? It is a singularity -- or rather a set of singularities or of singular points characterizing a mathematical curve, a physical state of affairs, a psychological and moral person. Singularities are turning points and points of inflection; bottlenecks, knots, foyers, and centers; points of fusion, condensation, and boiling; points of tears and joy, sickness and health, hope and anxiety, "sensitive" points...The singularity belongs to another dimension than that of denotation, manifestation, or signification. It is essentially pre-individual, non-personal, and a-conceptual. It is quite different to the individual and the collective, the personal and the impersonal, the particular and the general -- and to their oppositions.  Singularity is neutral. On the other hand, it is not "ordinary": the singular point is opposed to the ordinary." LS (52)

Love had a thousand shapes

"Fifty pairs of eyes were not enough to get round that one woman with, she thought"  [cf. el aleph]

"She was not inventing; she was only trying to smooth out something she had been given years ago folded up; something she had seen."

- Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
