Here is a visual representation of Simondon’s individuation cycle:
- Preindividual: A state of potential and metastable energy, not yet individuated.
- Individuation: A dynamic process of resolving internal tensions.
- Individual: A phase, not a final product—always in transformation.
- Transindividual: The relational field where individuals co-individuate with others.

Here is a diagram of Simondon’s individuation cycle:
- Preindividual: A reservoir of unresolved tensions and potentials.
- Metastable Tension: A phase of disequilibrium that allows for transformation.
- Individuation: The process that actualizes a new structure or form.
- Individual: A temporary resolution, never fully closed or complete.
- Transindividual: The dimension in which individuals relate and co-individuate.
- New Potential: Each individual carries unexhausted preindividual residue, restarting the cycle.
