models

Deleuze sets up five types of models to indentify two different kinds of spaces occurring in various conditions through the models he is describing; however distinct or separate those two spaces are: one being the smooth and the other striated, they always run into some kind of specific relationships, some kind of non/-measurable conditions . For one the smooth and striated are two not identical conditions but are fully dependent on each other`s evolution; they constantly transform between one another or how the author calls is – intertwine, and however different the intertwining is, the relationship between elements within each model is a dynamic one. I think he is saying that the smooth space needs the striated in order to become one or the other. It’s not necessarily a matter of conflicting or resolving conditions, more that these conditions will always exist, and there is a play in exchange of energy; no means of simple invention or mathematical solution, but means of unpredictability. This is how the organic has evolved from scattered nomad cave life to agglomerated self-organized/sustained cities, and it is rarely/never one or the other since the division line between the two spaces is very abstract.
