is a point at which the distinction between humans and technology will disappear.

By the time of the Singularity, there won't be a distinction between humans and technology. This is not because humans will have become what we think of as machines today, but rather machines will have progressed to be like humans and beyond. Technology will be the metaphorical opposable thumb that enables our next step in evolution.

is not something unique or sui generis, but, somewhat paradoxically, something that is only understood in the way that it is repeated.

As we have seen, for Deleuze a 'singularity' is not something unique or sui generis, but, on the contrary, something that can be understood only through the ways it comes to be repeated. It precisely such 'iterability of the singular' that requires a different logic than that of the generality that subsumes things in classes or the subject in which predicates inhere the logic of a 'complicated' or 'complex' whole. In Deleuze's terminology, we may then say that a singularity is what enters into a 'series,' and a series, in contrast to a set or organic whole, is what is composed of 'singularities.'17 (Rajchman 2000 : 57)

is paradoxically, what enters into a series. And a series, in contrast to a set or organic whole, is what is composed of singularities.

is that which defies the generalizing impulse of the sociological imagination.

singularity as 'that which defies the generalizing impulse of the sociological imagination', a limit-concept marking the point at which representation becomes 'opaque to the generalities inherent in language' (Provincializing Europe 83).

is the inevitable next step in the evolutionary process that started with biological evolution and has extended through human-directed technological evolution.

The Singularity denotes an event that will take place in the material world, the inevitable next step in the evolutionary process that started with biological evolution and has extended through human-directed technological evolution. however, it is precisely in the world of matter and energy that we encounter transcendence, a principal connotation of what people refer to as spirituality.

is topological rather than geometrical answer to the ordinary (not the plural as the name suggests). It goes after a minimal point which is in fact not merely a point but also a chaos loop. It gives matter tendencies and argues against inertness, eliminating laws.

Otto Frei (german artist) -he used soap film rather than computers to design the olympic stadiumsoap film has a tendency to construct a singularity a minimum of surface tension .. you don't just want soap bubbles, but you want a partnership -it's an analogue computer -it's a brilliant use of -singularities are topological rather than geometrical -going after a minimal point.. Singular is not opposed to plural, but opposed to ordinary -singular is unique, special. Singularities are implicit forms that are topological. it can have various manifestations . Singularities are not just points, but also chaos loops. . . giving matter tendencies -argues against innertness . . . . eliminates laws. . . (Manuel Delanda talk at tate 2004).
