*assemblage*

A whole formed from heterogeneous parts that retain their autonomy while generating emergent properties through their relations. Neither reducible to its components nor determining them, an assemblage exists in constant flux.

Does “assemblage” do “agencement” justice? 🤔

Oh interesting.

An acquaintance of my mine who is French told me assemblage exists because people like me can’t pronounce agencement easily 😝

I’ve thought of them as synonyms but perhaps not.

I think of agencement as the active and dynamic process of becoming assemblages?
