"Although the software itself is relatively well known and easily available, so that users may get the impression that breeding new forms has become a matter of routine, the space of possible designs that the algorithm searches needs to be sufficiently rich for the evolutionary results to be truly surprising."*

Om objektivitet

"While restoring the richness of causal relations does make them more likely to explain complex material behavior, it is a restoration of their objectivity that will have more profound philosophical consequences: material events producing other material events in ever more intricate series, whether there are humans around to observe them or not." *

Om kausalitet

"[Philosophers] have traditionally confused an analysis of how the link between causes and effects is perceived by us humans with an analysis of what the causal link itself is." *

Om exteriöritet

"imply, first of all, that a component part of an assemblage may be detached from it an plugged into a different assemblage in which its interactions are different. […] Relations of exteriority also imply that the properties of the component parts can never explain the relations which constitute a whole." *

Om generativt tänkande

"As fascinating as the idea of breeding buildings inside a computer might be, it is clear that mere digital technology without populational, intensive and topological thinking will never be enough."

Om mätbarhet

"A space is not just a set of points, but a set together with a way of binding these points together into neighborhoods through well-defined relations of proximity or contiguity. In [...] Euclidean geometry these relations are specified by fixed lenghts... There exist other spaces however, where fixed distances cannot define proximities since distance do not remain fixed... The distinction between metric and nonmetric spaces in fundamental in Deleuzian ontology."
