Singularity / singularization

Singularization Principle (name used in the articles) · Singularization (name used in the articles)

The final point toward which power conflict tends: the concentration of power in a single will. Singularity names the state, singularization the process; the two are not to be confused. The book's verdict: “Singularization is not a choice or a strategy but the structural outcome of power conflict. The will to be draws the individual into conflict; the mechanics of conflict push the system toward a single will.”
