Eisenman, like Leibniz, is "turning his back on Cartesian rationalism," and instead focusing on objectile events as described by Gilles Deleuze and furthered by René Thom's catastrophe theory. In order to address historically ambiguous site or programmatic conditions in more complex and exhaustive ways, Eisenman argues that the catastrophic fold can represent a "non-dialectical third condition." This categorical differentiation suggests any architectural resolution is a distinct event, "already in place in the structure" of the site, context or condition, and thereby creates an architectural solution "of the past and the future," not merely a zeitgeist or static object.
