Chapter 2: From note taking to transindividuation
The contributive categorization seminar raises the question of the organization of transindividuation. How can we conceive what allows us to move from an individual note taking and annotation – what Gilbert Simondon calls psychic individuation – to transindividuation ? How to implement this question, in our time of tertiary digital retention.

And if the interest of the algorithm is its invaraiability, the interest of a noetic psychic individual is its variability: this is where negentropy and novelty come from. The problem is to know how to articulate them together.
Chapter 4: Remarks about experience
An experience is always about something new, about what I have not categorized yet but what I can deal with because I have categories for that. We can not simply decide to change our categories in order to do it, a work must be done and we can not interrupt it. A psychic individual wants […]
Chapter 2: Categorization and psychic individuation
In this seminar, we must think of the condition for passing from coindividuation to transindividuation, that is to say the production of categories, with focusing on what happens inside us first. When five individuals take notes, they are all different because nobody has the same secondary psychical retentions. This is a wealth, because categorization is […]

Categorization is produced by a co-individuation process. For example, when Albert Enstein defined, and therefore categorized, general relativity, it was a result of processes of co-individuation of Albert Einstein with numerous people, including with himself. This co-individuation process leads to — and Plato said the same thing in different words — a transindividuation process, that is […]
