My approach is to attempt to design machines for thinking the unthinkable that must constitute sufficient coherence to enable the user to sense the flow of becoming.

To design machines that might act in the world is not to make claims about the nature of that world. As Eugene Holland remarks (in relation to Anti-Oedipus):

... about a machine one askes not what it might mean but what it can do and how it works.
(Holland, 1999;. p. 3)

In the design of conceptual machines, a key principle is multidimensionality. This device is crucial in revealing potential absences: in locating the unthinkable. Thus, if three categories can be reconceptualised in a two-dimensional space, three becomes four and a new region of conceptual space is opened. One example of the application of this strategy is in the reconceptualisation of Weber's modes of authority, originally traditional, charismatic and bureaucratic as an authority machine. This machine reveals the 'client' mode, unthinkable in Weber's one-dimensional space.
