Abstract

Heraclitus mused: “Geography is fate.” Yet fate is divisive and specious, whereas geographies are absorptive, expansive, and dissolute. The irreconcilable matrices of length and location produce an insoluble complex of signification, in between the dipoles of which are territories and processes of territorialization exactly in the rhythmic or logospheric sense propounded by Deleuze and Guattari (1977; 1987). The present article provides an ecosophic cybernet avowing the “interology” (Zhang, 2020) of territorialization according to the following consecutivized, emergent properties: I.I. Cytoarchitectonics; I.II. Territory-as-autism; I.III. Territorial statisticization; I.IX. Territorial disjoints; I.X. Motor sparsities; (I.)II.I. Self-as-territory (territory-as-self); (I.)II.II. Self-geology; (I.)II.III. Territorial madness; and (I.)II.IX. Geographic apogees. Further, two original related constructs, the fissure and L’objet fou, are proposed to intermediate and essentialize the interology of territorialization.
