BwO: What Binary? In Plato's Timaeus--the archival belly and bowel of the Occidental mind--the Pythagorean astronomer explains that the universe was created as a living sphere complete unto itself. If possessed no organs of any kind, certainly no organs of ingestion and excretion. For when there is no other for organs to work on, no other to incorporate and excrete, organs are superfluous. (77) *I can think of no simpler image to convey a possible reading of D&G's notion. With no more binary, there is no need for organs. By stepping out of binary thinking, we will have become bodies without organs. And presented through, of all places, a creation myth. Krell, David Farrell. "Eating Out:
