To be becoming is to have already departed from something, a becoming-human has already departed from what it must have once been in order to move towards being something else. The becoming-cyborg is not a Cyborg, but it has already departed from being just human. Becoming is not just the beginning of being, as ‘being’ implies that a becoming can eventually become. Becoming, in this sense, is a metaphysics, not just a transition from point A to point B, but a rejection of static points entirely. Becoming comes from nowhere and never stops to just—be.

Becoming implies that we, our bodies, the universe, and our identities are always incomplete. But who are we anyway? Our notions of “we” have betrayed so many, we can no longer linger on with these archaic concepts of identity. We can move beyond the static notion of the human. Incompleteness changes our view of time. We habitually divide time into what was, what is, and what will be. We behave as if the present is a plateaux or platform upon which we stand. Yet there is no stable present, there is no is, only a non-state of becoming.

From what was once becoming, to what will be becoming still.
