What is Rhizome

Chapter 8
Toward Sustainability Through Digital Technologies and Practices in the Eurasian Region
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (from Ancient Greek rhízoma —“mass of roots,” from rhizóo —“cause to strike root”) is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes ( Wikipedia 2019 ). Deleuze and Guattari used this term to create the concept of rhizome as an architonic model that could describe specific states and/or the specific understanding of the different areas where this concept is applied (society; culture; thought; literature; politics; etc.). Deleuze and Guattari (1987) , in A Thousand Plateaus , assert the difference between the rhizome and its opposite, the arborescent, which forms a model of domination and subordination like a tree with its root-pivot and its trunk.

Abstract
According to the theory of the link between democracy and society's need for educated citizens, the process of transmission of experiences is a basic activity for a society. The conditions of this transmission are the academic, institutional, and political freedom of that society's universities. This transmission takes the form of the communication model: a top-to-bottom form or a horizontal form. The form of transmission is a specific form of rationality expressed in a communicative action. To understand this rationality, it is necessary to analyze existing forms of communication in the context of the history of rationality itself. Today, the digitization of the higher education system has become a global trend, bringing with it new forms of communication. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the “Industry 4.0” state program affirms that digital communication skills need to be implemented at all levels of social life. The chapter is devoted to the problem of which form of academic communication will be chosen and the consequences of this choice for the Kazakhstan in the future.

WikiCity: Real-Time Location-Sensitive Tools for the City
A philosophical network structure, put forward by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in which every part is necessarily connected with every other part of the system. There are no preferential connections because every connection alters the overall network structure. The rhizome as a flat network is in contrast to arboreal structures connoted by a hierarchical structure.
