The implication here is that whatever social networks and identities emerge on the internet, they are constitutively different from their precedents, from those external to it. It is not made of units but of dimensions, or rather of shifting directions. The rhizome is an anti-genealogy. The rhizome forms the line between points, and therefore forms both the connection and the flight, the in-betweenness of collaboration by which the 'one' is always divisible. It is process-oriented, disordered, never a beginning nor an end.
Encounters are inherently collaborative.
The encounter is generative, heralding the possibility of any number of 'becomings'. The encounters are sites of transit and the encounter itself is transitionary. According to Turkle, the internet is the site of reconstructed relationships whereby community and identity can be perceived as 'cultural work in progress' rather than as a given. Politics rests on the possibility of being accountable to each other in some nonvoluntaristic 'I feel like it today' way.
