In concerted action, says Bergson, the entire past is contracted into the present, whereas in dreams (and we would add, in involuntary memory) a dilated, extended past is explored. The third paradox is that the past pre-exists every present moment. The present passes within the virtual past, and with each successive present there is the presupposition of that virtual medium as already existing. ‘Its manner of being contemporaneous with itself as present is that of being posed as already-there, presupposed by the passing present and causing it to pass’ (Deleuze 1994: 82).
This is no mystical or barbarous hypothesis. On the contrary, habit here manifests its full generality: it concerns not only the sensory-motor habits that we have (psychologically), but also, before these, the primary habits that we are; the thousands of passive syntheses of which we are organically composed. (Deleuze 1994: 74) Yet in self-enjoyment, the organism attains a meta-awareness as the general pleasure-sensing totality of contemplative minds. In this sense, then, a self-reference function is an emergent component of an organism’s contractions.
In his exposition of the first passive synthesis of the present, Deleuze starts with the simple instance of two elements, A and B (perhaps ‘tick’ and ‘tock’), and asks how time might come to be constituted from this. indd 33 13/5/10 14:37:11 deleuzian fabulation and the scars of history B. Hence, only in a second A and its confirming paired B would the first A–B constitute a sequence, and only if there were a contraction of all four into a single apprehension. That contraction would bring together a difference (A and B) in a repetition (the second A–B) that is the origin of the conception of the first A–B as a unit, the whole of the four elements establishing a relation among differences (the first A–B as difference; the second A–B as difference; the first and second A–B as different from one another) held together in a contraction of originary repetition.
