De Landa: The key to the ontology I defend is the idea that the world is made out of individual entities at different levels of scale, and that each entity is the contingent result of an individuation process.
De Landa: That remark is a disclaimer to draw attention to the fact that one does not have the legitimate right to postulate an "attractor" until one has some mathematical evidence one may be lurking there.
De Landa: The preeminence of the cities you mention was always contingent on the speed of transport: for as long as sea transport was faster than by land, not only goods but people and ideas flowed faster and accumulated more frequently in maritime metropolises.

As a consequence, during the 16th century CE, the Landa script became the template for the Gurmukhi script, which was created to better represent the Punjabi language.
In the mid 19th century, the Landa script was adopted to write the Sindhi language.
However, this proved to be short-lived, as Sindhi eventually came to be written in either Devanagari or an Arabic-derived script by the middle of the 20th century CE.

 Manuel De Landa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manuel DeLanda, (born 1952 in Mexico City), is a writer, artist and distinguished philosopher who has lived in New York since 1975.
De Landa became a principal figure in the "new materialism" based on his application of Deleuze's realist ontology.
His universal research into "morphogenesis" - the production of the semi-stable structures out of material flows that are constitutive of the natural and social world - has been of interest to theorists across many academic and professional disciplines.

 The 2nd switch interview with Manuel De Landa
Now, there are indeed treatments of the history of science in just these terms and these ideas may be applied to the history of art (after all, techniques, styles, ideas etc, may be passed from one generation to the next as replicators, and there are plenty of social factors acting as sorting devices).
De Landa: Well, first of all, "relativism" of any kind is alien to Deleuze's (and my) philosophy, since Deleuze believes in the autonomous existence of reality (autonomous from the human mind, that is).
De Landa: The call to be "more experimental" stems not from a utopian desire, and it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with "changing language in the hopes of changing perception".

The Landa may not be as attractive as the Thunderhawk, or as well equipped, however it is not to be underestimated.
As the Landa is a Ballistic Entry Vehicle I felt the paintwork should look even more worn and distressed than usual (even for Orks!) and based the scheme on a cross between my more recent Battle Fortresses and the Landa seen in the rulebook.
The second Landa was painted using the same palette of colours with the exception of adding a few patches of green to help keep the two looking different.

De Landa: Well, it would all have to be handled case by case.
De Landa: Well, frankly, I think Marxism is Deleuze and Guattari's little Oedipus, the small piece of territory they must keep to come back at night after a wild day of deterritorializing.

After cancelling its "Battle of the Bandwidths" portion of its Comdex exhibit and building a new e-commerce demo, LANDA directors are now turning their sights to the United States to increase their membership and spread their influence.
According to LANDA's new president, Phil Lightstone, the decision to cancel the "Battle" was made during a directors meeting in August.
During the same meetings the directors discussed the potential for expanding LANDA beyond its Greater Toronto Area borders, even moving back into the U.S. The association was once North America wide, said Alan Brind, vice-president of marketing and business planning at Performance Technologies Inc., and a director with LANDA, from his Rochester, N.Y., office.

Rather, the source of all concrete forms in the West's history are shown to derive from internal morphogenetic capabilities that lie within the flow of matter-energy itself.
De Landa chronicles the development in this area as applied to Biology, a couple of branches in Physics and the Social Sciences, and links all his subjects in such an extraordinary way that the book is itself a meshwork, in the purest sense of Deleuze and Guattari.
De Landa's take on history is that it is a product of complexity and self-organization much more than we are prone to believe; in this book, he expands on and explodes from those of his (also) brilliant "War in the Age of Intelligent Machines".
