A Thousand Plateaus

Three ideas from this book run through SoftMachine’s product spec.

Smooth space: the exploratory, malleable space of the salon — opposed to the striated, ordered space of conventional execution tools.

Desiring-machines: human and machine as honest co-authors, neither fully in charge, neither replaceable.

And the shape of the connections themselves: many-to-many, with no hierarchy. Every voice can reach every other voice. Search returns territory, not answers.
