Deleuze's interpretation of Leibniz's famous theory of perception provides a useful example of his method.

I apprehend the noise of the sea or the murmur of a crowd, but not the sound of each wave or each voice of which it is composed. Th ese unconscious perceptions are related to conscious perceptions, not as parts to a whole, but as what is ordinary to what is remarkable or singular: a conscious perception is produced when at least two of these elements enter into a diff erential relation that determines a singularity. Or consider the color green: yellow and blue can be perceived, but if they reach a point where they become indiscernible, they enter into a diff erential relation that determines the color green (db∕dy = G); in turn, yellow or blue, each on its own account, may be determined by the diff erential relation of two colors we cannot detect (dx∕dy = Y). Th ese unconscious perceptions constitute the "ideal genetic elements" of perception, or what Maimon called the "diff erentials of consciousness." It is such a virtual multiplicity of genetic elements, and the system of connections established between them, that constitutes an Idea: the relations are actualized in diverse spatiotemporal relationships, just as the elements are actualized in diverse perceptions and forms. Rather than perception presupposing an object capable of aff ecting us, it is the reciprocal determination of diff erentials (dx∕dy) Volume 6 daniel w. smith 106 that entails both the complete determination of the object as perception and the determinability of spacetime as conditions. Spacetime ceases to be a given in order to become the totality or nexus of diff erential relations in the subject, and the object ceases to be an empirical given in order to become the product of these relations in conscious perception. 3.
