...Accidental forms are susceptible to more and less: more or less charitable, but also more or less white, more or less warm. A degree of heat is a perfectly individuated warmth distinct from the substance or the subject that receives it. A degree of heat can enter into composition with a degree of whiteness, or with another degree of heat, to form a third unique individuality distinct from that of the subject. [...] An accidental form therefore has a “latitude” constituted by a certain number of composable individuations. A degree, an intensity, is an individual, a Haecceity that enters into composition with other degrees, other intensities, to form another individual.

Here D&G attend to Alchemy as an “ars combinatoria” – the Vas Hermetis – alchemical vessel – as a plane-of-immanence, serving as home to transfigurations and coagulations, distillations and putrefactions – modulations of substance, interactions and physical “economies”.
But the interesting part is the description of the spinozic “latitude” (consistency of a “certain number” of elementary “degrees” virtually entering a variety of compositions) as really consisting of different magnitudes or really extensities (degrees, magnitudes, numbers) which are really also intensities (self-oriented, self-sustaining singularities).

Worldsoul as a Musical “Collage”

Why am I bringing this issue up here? Well, I do think it is relevant to the psychomorphotic demiurgic operation in Timaeus – in the famous part describing the “attuning” of the Worldsoul, Plato writes of the “cutting” of “portions” from the animal Sphere:

...First he took one portion from the whole, after which he took one double that which he had taken, and a third portion one and a half times the second and triple the one taken first.

These three elementary portions or degrees are 1, 2 and 3 – while 3 is 1.5×2 and 3
×1, and 2 is 2×1, so creating a “harmonic” relation. The different “symphonies” of Soul, the intricacies of the universe, are different compositions of those elementary degrees (multiplied one by another) and their proportionate intervals.
It may be said that a Worldsoul, in deleuzoguattarian conceptology, is made of longitude and latitude – latitude being the capacity to uphold and consist of a certain number of forces, and longitude being the extensive relation or composition into which those forces or virtual units enter. The Worldsoul is a composite of degrees or portions, complicated in a consonance or “collage” of forms and contents.

Conclusions

So we have seen today how the Worldsoul is a plane-of-consistency or immanence. The demiurge modulates or “composes” Soul in a variety of consonances and harmonizations, creating a universal manifold.
