rhizomatic 

A Rhizome (botanical origin), unlike trees or their roots, connects any point to any other point, and its traits are not necessarily linked to traits of the same nature. Rhizomatic is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, used to describe theory and research that allows for multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points in data representation and interpretation.
Unlike most conventional media, the Internet today has a rhizomatic character.

Not a potato. It is a cool post-post-structuralist idea created by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.
There's no point planting rhizomes in your garden, because they only grow out of an eternally deferred centre, maybe.

A horizontal stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. Students of Naropa University are obsessed with the rhizome, as it fulfills their dual lust for metaphor and salad.
"Rhizome, an underground stem bearing roots and flowers, and a postructuralist metaphor for nomadic traits, is a trope that Anne Waldman exploits to describe hybrid, cross-genre poetics and intuitive constellations." It also makes a decent tea.

A concept by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze delineating nihilism as an enclosed (disymmetric) boundary (space) separating subjectivity and objectivity.

The image-thought of the boundary of the human body as coterminous with the boundary of nihilism.

In phenomenological terms Deleuze's paradigm of body-without-organs: connection as coterminity (contiguity).
Deleuze's rhizome indicates that the body is the phenomenal instance of disymmetry.

In doing so it indicates that coterminity (boundary) connects phenomena (idea) with phenomenology (imagic idea).
