What is an ideal event? It is a singularity- or rather a set of singularities or of singular points characterizing a mathematical curve, a physical state of affairs, a psychological and moral person. Singularities are turning points and points of inflection; bottlenecks, knots, foyers, and centers; points of fusion, condensation, and boiling; points of tears and joy, sickness and health, hope and anxiety, 'sensitive' points. Such singularities, however, should not be confused either with the personality of the one expressing herself in discourse, or with the individuality of a state of affairs designated by a proposition, or even with the generality or universality of a concept signified by a figure or a curve. The singularity belongs to another dimension than that of denotation, manifestation, or signification. It is essentially pre-individual, non-personal, and a-conceptual. It is quite indifferent to the individual and the collective, the personal and the impersonal, the particular and the general-and to their oppositions. Singularity is neutral.

“Existence is not a problem. The immediacy of being reveals itself in non-problematic terms to the pure
intellect. Existence, as such, does not demand definition. It is the spontaneity of being. … But it is
impossible to conceive everything in an indeterminate way when every moment of existence is entirely
determinate. Determining existence as totality means conceiving its infinity, a determinate and positive
infinity, which is precisely the totality. … This enclosure of existence in the infinite is not a process, it is a
production of the infinite itself in its positive essence. Reality is always ordered toward the infinite
determination, but the converse must also be true: This tendency toward the infinite must also invert
itself, expressing itself as a plural determination of things produced, without which the infinite would be
conceived as divisible.”
Antonio Negri The Savage Anomaly – First Foundation

“ … the before and after are no longer themselves a matter of external empirical succession, but of the
intrinsic quality of that which forms an empirical sequence into a series … Everything which functions as
limit between two series divided into two parts, the before and the after constituting the two sides of the
limit … “
Gilles Deleuze The Time-Image, Cinema II
