Dave and e,

Not having agreed upon names or definitions may be an advantage to the process of exploration here. Without fixed terms I’m forced to explain myself by borrowing other meanings to make points. If nothing else this further forces me to seek what seem like similarities or fertile connections. Why fix things in place so early on?

To me, the term “rhizome” is suggestive of a means by which knowledge is passed around in a social setting, as is the image of a river flowing by, or a group of plants in leaky pots sharing nutrients. I’d much rather explore in the realm of the unnamed than the decided upon.
