- [Rhizome] has been offered as an explanatory framework for network theory and hypertext, although a strict reading of Deleuze and Guattari does not suppor these interpretations. Their rhizome is non-hierarchical, heterogeneous, mulitiplicitous, and acentered.
- Deleuze and Guattari arrive at the rhizome by way of analyzing the book.
- One of D and G's criticisms of the tree is that it does not offer an adequate explanation of multiplicity.
- the rhizome has no unique source from which all development occurs.
- [Trees and rhizomes] are not completely repellant however, because the rhizome is able to infiltrate the tree; fluidity and openness infect the closed, unchanging, and static.
- The rhizome deterritorializes strata, subverts hierarchies.
- The characterization of the Web as a rhizome leaves out aspects of the concept described by D and G.... The Web operates on the intrnet, itself a structure with a tree-like Root whose centralized featuers have been cited as ripe for domination.
