A concept is a vector. 


“The concept has no subject or object other than itself. It is an act.” 
Giles Deleuze

“Force is not be confused with power. Power is the domestication of force. Force in its wild states arrives from outside to break constraints and open new vistas. Power builds walls.” 

Giles Deleuze

Giles Deleuze - on nomadic thought

“State space is ‘striated’, or gridded. Movement is confined by gravity to a horizontal plane,…Nomad space is ‘smooth’ or open-ended. One can rise up at any point and move to another. Its mode of distribution is the nomos: arraying oneself in an open space (hold the street), as opposed to the logos of entrenching oneself in a closed space (hold the fort).”
