The elaboration of a 'post-identity' theory in the context of the birth of Synthia, an artificially generated 'life form'. Not only does it tackle the problem of representational theory, it outlines the way in which complexity, Mandelbrot's invention of fractals and the emergence of 'ana-materialism' is crucial for the 'becoming-x' of new (and old) life forms. It ends with a link to the Formant Brother's work on 'roku-gaku'.
