01. A subject is an indirect relationship between a creator and a world event.
02. In the context of a becoming-subject, the event (whose whole being is to disappear) is represented by a footprint, the world (which, as such, does not support any subject) is represented by a body.
03. A subject is the general direction of the effects of the body in accordance with the required footprint. It is, therefore, form en trace of the effects of the body.
04. The reality of a subject lies in the consequences (impact on a world) of the relationship, which is to that subject, including a footprint and a body.
05. In relation to a given set of consequences in accordance with the requirement of the road, almost always happens to a body part is available or useful, and another is passive, even harmful. Consequently, every body subjectivise is cleaved (blacked out).
06. There are two kinds of consequences, and therefore two forms of the subject. The first takes the form of continuous adjustments inside the old world, local appropriations subject to the new objects and relations of this world. The second closure is imposed by the world in situations where the complexity of identities and differences is brutally redirected to the subject, the requirement of a choice between two possibilities, and only two. The first method is an opening, operating in continuous opening a possible new opportunities near the old world. The second form, we will study in detail in Book VI, is a point. In the first case the subject is presented as an endless negotiation with the world, whose structures and open dissent. In the second case, is presented as a decision, whose location is imposed by the impossibility of forcing forced open as possible.
07. A subject is a sequence that implies continuity and discontinuities, openings and points. The "and" is embodied in a subject. Or even (in-body) *: One subject is the conjunctiva of a body.
08. The sequential construction of a subject is easier in the opening moments, but the subject is so often a weak person. This construction is more difficult when it is necessary to cross points, but the subject is thus much stronger.
09. A new world is created subjectively point by point.
10. The generic name of a subjective construction is: truth.
11. Four signal affect the incorporation the human animal to the subjective process of truth: First witness the desire for Great Point, a crucial discontinuity suddenly install the new world and ends with the subject. We can call it terror. The second witness the fear of the points, down to the darkness of all that is broken, everything that requires a choice between two hypotheses unsecured. Or even the signa affect the desire for continuity, a shelter monotonous. The distress call. The third affirms the acceptance of a plurality of points, the fact that the continuities are both compelling and multifaceted. We can call it courage. The fourth-affirming that the subject is a constant point intricacy and openings. Asserts the equivalence, with respect to the primacy of becoming-subject, of what is continuous and negotiated, and what is broken and violent. These are nothing more than subjective methods, which depend on the construction of the subject in a world and the capabilities of the body to produce effects on it. It need not be nested. The war may be worth as much as peace, negotiation and struggle, violence as well as calm. Call this affection, which act categories are subordinated to the contingency of worlds justice.
12. Oppose the value of courage and justice to the "evil" anguish and terror is not merely an effect of opinion. To unfold the incorporation of the human animal to a subjective process, so that the animal in a subject discipline and the construction of a truth will emerge demands the grace to be immortal, "all the affections are needed.
13. The ethics of the subject, whose other name is "ethic of truths", is equivalent, when the issue is the incorporation of a human animal, the following: find a point by point affects order authorizing the continuation the process.
