Gilles Deleuze's The Logic of Sense provides a philosophy of event and becoming.

Becoming is
a concept that has been seen already in the consideration of affect and the body in A Thousand
Plateaus; it refers to the shift in experiential states the body undergoes as it is subject to affect. Event,
however, is a concept that has yet to be addressed nor has its relation to becoming.
Deleuze situates becoming temporally in Logic of Sense, and in this sense relates to a moment.
When one considers the meaning of the word moment, they might construe of a particular block or unit
of time that is isolated from all others that precede it (the past) and that follow it (the future). After all,
when one begins to consider the past and the future, they are inevitably considering time that falls
outside of the confines of the moment; the moment is, from its point of view, the present. However,
Deleuze's conception of time does not isolate the present from the past and the future, but rather posits
that they are inherent in the moment itself. Using the example of Lewis Carroll's Alice growing larger,
Deleuze states unequivocally that it is at the same moment that one becomes larger than one was
smaller than one becomes.1 This is to say, that the moment of the present is a point. In relation to the
past, Alice becomes larger than she was before. From the point of view of the future, time is regressing
and thus Alice becomes smaller. Deleuze states that becoming does not tolerate the separation or the
distinction of before and after, or of past and future.2 Becoming is a moment that thus goes in either
direction simultaneously. In this regard, Deleuze posits that becoming divides itself infinitely ain past
and future and always eludes to the present.3
However, becoming is not this moment; it is what occurs during the moment. The moment itself
refers to Deleuze's conception of the event. Deleuze argues that event moves in two directions at once,
a.4 The two directions refer to the bi-linear nature of the event's temporality.
However, what exactly are events? Deleuze argues that they are
