 sure, sure, let's go on with the nomadic war  machines thread  or 
just read Dumezil to not confuse  things too much.  D&G are so hard to
read, what  I like is  their emphasis on innovation where Indra is an
index in the search for a novel  move, a felicitous deviation from an
expected move that brings into play surprise, speed, and secrecy  where 
what resists shaping is  itself  part of  the game indicating something
that is far and immesurable-- the grand style of  border existence.
