Figure 6.2 The transcendental field does not transcend time. It fields time's creation in the event. To transcend time would be to posit linear time in order to redraw time's passage as an inside and outside of experience that moves seamlessly from past to present to future. This would assume an omnipresent (human) body, documenting, remembering, orchestrating, witnessing. This is transcendence, operative always on the molar stratum of experience where life appears as predefined. The metaphysical surface, on the other hand, has no preconstituted spacetime. It has virtual circuits, impossible flows, ineffable becomings, washouts, active always on the molecular stratum where life is still in the making. Events as they come to expression merge with this metaphysical surface in infinitely dynamic ways. Dynamic events are full of holes, or better, of folds. They propel subjects and objects into the world, but they are not presupposed by them. Actively emergent from the transcendental field of experience, events do not create form once and for all, they create openings for the force of a taking-form. This is memory: the dynamic force of life-living in the uneasy forming.

Transcendence builds memory from without, feeding the past ‘fully-formed’ into the container of the present. To transcend spacetime is to move outside spacetime to force a mode of life on living. Transcendence cleaves morally, separating fields of experience into representations of good and evil. It is a back-gridding procedure that creates a totality, a totalitarian, tautological experience.15 The transcendental field, by contrast, has no direction except toward the event, and no form in itself — it folds into the event forming.
