One thing to note: in chapter one of Psychic and Collective Individuation, Simondon refers to forms that are pregnant, not necessarily to the pre-individual field. We should probably discuss what he means, and if this notion can also be applied to the pre-individual field. You write:

I am impressed at the broad portrayal of Simondon. Even with such a limited amount of resources! I have a book by Pascal Chabot on Simondon's philosophy, and he has a chapter on Simondon and Marx. I think this was one of the fundamental questions you were always interested in hearing about in relation to Simondon. I'll try to see about getting some of it translated for you to see.
