A rhizome has no beginning or end: it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb "to be" but the fabric of the rhizome is the conjunction, "and...and...and". (Deleuze and Guattari 1987, 25)
