Deleuze famously defines philosophy as the creation of concepts, and I would propose, in a tentative manner, several concepts that, taken together, may help lay out the rudiments of a Deleuzian philosophy of technology: prosthesis, proto-technicity, exodarwinism, de-specialization, motricity, inscription, maker's knowledge, and totipotence.
Embryologists have coined a term to describe this state of a stem cell: "totipotence" [toe-'ti-po-tence], which can be contrasted with the term "omnipotence" often used to describe God.
I would like to conclude, very speculatively, by returning to a concept we have already mentioned, namely, totipotence. Following Serres, we have used the term as a way of describing the de-specialization of human organs such as the hands, which, like stem cells, are capable of taking on an indefinite number of functions.
But if this class of white concepts is made possible by the totipotence of our own bodies, then we would have to take the further step and follow Deleuze in affirming that "the abstract is lived experience.
