*Note: this metaphor may not be the best for illustrating such a complicated subject, but it's funny looking, and it makes me laugh so....take from it what you will.
In an attempt to further elaborate the process of constructing our CATTt, I will attempt to summarize a bit of Deleuze and Guattari with the help of one of my favorite breakfast foods ever - eggs, sunny side up. Since D & G occupy our Theory slot, we are using them to give us a set of instructions for creating a Concept (proper), which is composed of three major things:
- the Plane of Immanence
- the Conceptual Personae
- Components/Concept
I can further explain what each of these three components are made up of (the rabbit hole gets deeper) but for now, simply put, the plane of immanence is the territory of reality/consciousness that directly relates to the problem (the Target) that the Concept tries to understand - the whole egg (white and yolk). The conceptual personae is the character or "avatar" that enacts the Concept and allows us to think through it - perhaps this is the person eating breakfast. The components are the bits of things/actions/characteristics that occupy the chaotic plane of immanence. We take them and bring them into a different consistency within the plane of immanence into the form of our concept - the pepper flakes. The concept in this image is the yolk because it literally is a different consistency than the rest of the egg. It is part of the plane of immanence, but separate from it and perhaps is the "meatiest" part of all of this.
