在 Deleuze & Guattari 的写作，尤其是《千高原》中，最明显的结构是一个往复三元组：to-fro-forth，oui-non-si，root-radicle-rhizome，结域-解域-再结域，纵轴-横轴-对角线，……不过以上这些例子的图案都不同。如“结域-解域-再结域”的 Z 字形，重点在再结域时引入的那点差异。对角线则涉及到维度问题 (dimension of curve)。root-radicle-rhizome 是过渡，统一→切碎的统一→碎，或者说 n-1 的关系：

Subtract the unique from the multiplicity to be constituted; write at n – 1 dimensions.

n-1 理解起来很简单，字面意思无非是指把 n 里面的 unity 给拿掉。更进一步，用数学语言来说，这样实际上有 n-1 degrees of freedom because the last element is always uniquely determined by the others. 参见下面这个问题对矩阵自由度的解释：

记得还有个关于短篇小说的三元组，但忘记了具体，等看到再说吧。

the duos

• vectorial (occupy without counting) – metric (count in order to occupy)
• smooth – striated
• problematics – theorematics
• eccentric science – royal science
• celerity – gravity
• singularity – universality
• private thinker – public professor
• aphorism – maxim
• relaying – copying

the trios

• mythos – logos – pathos (the two heads of the state versus the war machine)
• noology – ideology – counterthoughts
• sedentary – migrant (who travels back and forth between point) – nomad
• king – priest – prophet (the religious element of a war machine)
• forest – agriculture – nomad space
• lineal – territorial – numerical (human organizations)
