Rhizome vs arborescent

Deleuze and Guattari reject hierarchical, tree-like structures (root, trunk, branches) in favour of rhizomes: grass, tubers, networks where any point can connect to any other.

Principles: connection and heterogeneity, multiplicity, asignifying rupture, cartography (maps, not tracings). The rhizome is alliance, not filiation. They use this to talk about capitalism (deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation), schizophrenia, music, and politics.
