It seems that George's last post has spread like a virus! So please let me clarify some of your points here as I did before in George's blog: Dave is our colleague and fellow researcher in the Open Habitat project. He is not an stranger. And we know pretty well his work. Well enough to credit him when we build our research on his findings, or published work. The Rhizome project, is called Rhizome not because of Dave, who used, as we use, the well known and not so new concept of rhizome! The main reference we use and publicly acknowledge has another weight: is Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome we are referring to, in A Thousand Plateaus. Unfortunately, Deleuze and Guattari didn’t have a blog. Their work is in books, I agree, of difficult access. But they are outstanding pieces of thinking of our time.
