Becoming
Deleuzian concept emphasizing change over static identity. Reality is becoming rather than being. We are events, not essences. Becoming-woman, becoming-animal, becoming-imperceptible are lines of flight from identity. Transformation over representation. Nietzsche's eternal recurrence as pure becoming. Bergson's duration versus spatialalized time. Process philosophy generally. Becoming challenges substance metaphysics. Identity is temporary stabilization of flows. Embrace metamorphosis and multiplicity.
