haecceity

is a composition or an assemblage... it is the wolf itself, and the horse, and the child, that cease to be subjects to become events.

It is the wolf itself, and the horse, and the child, that cease to be subjects to become events, in assemblages that are inseparable from an hour, a season, an atmosphere, an air, a life. The street enters into composition with the horse, just as the dying rat enters into composition with the air, and the beast and the full moon enter into composition with each other. (D&G 'thousand' : 262)

is a degree, or an intensity, or an individual that enters into composition with other degrees, or other intensities to form another individual.

A degree, an intensity, is an individual, a Haecceity that enters into composition with other degrees, other intensities, to form another individual. Can latitude be explained by the fact that the subject participates more or less in the accidental form' But do these degrees of participation not imply a flutter, a vibration in the form itself that is not reducible to the properties of a subject' (D&G 'thousand' : 253)

is a mode of individuation very different from that of a person, subject, thing, or substance. A season, a winter, a summer, an hour, a date have a perfect individuality lacking nothing, even though this individuality is different from that of a thing or a subject.

There is a mode of individuation very different from that of a person, subject, thing, or substance. We reserve the name haecceity for it. A season, a winter, a summer, an hour, a date have a perfect individuality lacking nothing, even though this individuality is different from that of a thing or a subject. (D&G 'thousand' : 261)

is a type of individuation at odds with subjectivity or substantiality. It is more often found in the orient, in such forms as the haiku.

Among types of civilizations, the Orient has many more individuations by haecceity than by subjectivity or substantiality: the haiku, for example, must include indicators as so many floating lines constituting a complex individual. (D&G 'thousand' : 261)

is, for example, a season, a winter, a summer, an hour, a date... a thing which has perfect individuality, which lacks nothing, although its individuality is not that of a thing or a subject.

a season, a winter, a summer, an hour, a date have perfect individuality which lacks nothing, although it is not that of a thing or a subject. These are haecceities, in the sense that each is only a relation of movement and rest between molecules or particles, a power of affecting and being affected' (MP 318)

is, for example, the individuality of a day, a season, or an event.

What is the individuality of a day, a season, an event' A shorter day and a longer day are not, strictly speaking, extensions but degrees proper to extension, just as there are degrees proper to heat, color, etc. An accidental form therefore has a 'latitude' constituted by a certain number of composable individuations. (D&G 'thousand' : 253)

is, for instance, a cloud of locusts carried by the wind at five in the eventing... a vampire who goes out at night. It is not a backdrop, but the entire assemblage in its individuated aggregate.

A cloud of locusts carried in by the wind at five in the evening... a vampire who goes out at night, a werewolf at full moon. It should not be thought that a haecceity consist simply of a decor or backdrop that situates subjects, or of appendages that hold things and people to the ground. It is the entire assemblage in its individuated aggregate that is a haecceity... it is this assemblage that is defined by a longitude and a latitude, by speeds and affects, independently of forms and subjects, which belong to another plane. (D&G 'thousand' : 262)

is not at all a thing, but only a relation of movement and rest between molecules or particles, a power of affecting and being affected.
