**Assemblage**
Assemblage is a philosophical approach for studying the ontological diversity of agency, which means redistributing the capacity to act from an individual to a socio-material network of people, things, and narratives. Also known as _assemblage theory_ or _assemblage thinking_, this philosophical approach frames social complexity through fluidity, exchangeability, and their connectivity.

**autopoiesis**
Self-creating system that maintains and reproduces itself through internal processes and boundaries. Originally describing living cells, now applied to organizations and social systems. Characterized by operational closure yet structural coupling with environment. Contrasts with sympoiesis by emphasizing internal rather than collaborative production.

**bounded intelligence**
Goal-oriented cognition confined within defined parameters, with specific capacities for solving problems within known domains. Functions through established maps of reality with clear objectives and metrics of success. Effective for well-defined challenges within stable contexts.

**deterritorialization**
The destabilizing of boundaries and fixed identities, freeing elements to form new assemblages. Movement that escapes established territories, creating lines of flight from rigid structures. Always followed by reterritorialization—the reorganization into new patterns and territories.

**extitution** **extitution**
definition Less formalized networks extending beyond institutional boundaries, allowing exploration and innovation without rigid structure. The relational field surrounding institutions that enables adaptation and connection to environments. Functions through interpersonal relationships rather than codified roles and rules.

**extitutional space** **extitutional space**
definition The dynamic zone between institutions where informal networks and relations flourish. Enables connections across institutional boundaries and between institutions and environments. Less structured than institutions but more coherent than unorganized space. Facilitates innovation through productive tension.

**institution**
Formalized social structures composed of codified roles, rules, and procedures designed for stability and predictability. Persistent systems that coordinate collective action through impersonal mechanisms. Creates boundaries between inside and outside, with clear membership criteria and governance structures.

**rhizomatic**
Describing systems that grow through horizontal connection rather than vertical hierarchy. Characterized by multiplicity, heterogeneity, and asignifying rupture—can be broken but will start up again on old or new lines. Creates maps rather than tracings, focusing on experimentation over reproduction.

**rhizome**
Non-hierarchical network structure that spreads horizontally through multiple connections and entry points. Unlike tree structures with clear roots, rhizomes grow in any direction without central organization. A model for thought and social organization that resists fixed centers and binary logic.

**sympoiesis** **sympoiesis**
definition Making-with or collective production. Unlike autopoiesis (self-making), sympoiesis emphasizes collaborative creation across boundaries. Systems that produce themselves through interaction with other systems, never in isolation. Complex adaptive networks that thrive through ongoing relations rather than self-contained processes.

**territorialization**
Process of defining boundaries and establishing order within a space, whether physical, conceptual, or social. Creates recognizable patterns and identities by organizing flows of energy or information. Always accompanied by potential deterritorialization—the undoing of these same boundaries.

**unbounded intelligence**
Open-ended cognition that evolves its own goals and capacities, exploring territories beyond established maps. Operates through relation with emerging contexts rather than predetermined parameters. Prioritizes creative adaptation and discovery over problem-solving within known domains.
