Meanings

1. (countable, uncountable) Internal consistency; the fusion of components into an inseparable whole.
   • The concrete machinic assemblage, according to Deleuze and BGuattari, has an internal or endoconsistency that 'renders components inseparable within itself'. 2012, Thomas Nail, Returning to Revolution: Deleuze, Guattari and Zapatismo, →ISBN, page 126:
   • Now, according to the two aspects of Gödoel's theorem, proof of the consistency of arithmetic cannot be represented within the system (there is no endoconsistency), and the system necessarily comes up against true statements that are nevertheless not demonstrable, are undecidable (there is no exoconsistency, or the consistent system cannot be complete). 1996, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, What Is Philosophy?, →ISBN, page 137:
   • The concept just always is its consistency in its variations: “the concept is defined by its consistency, its endoconsistency and exoconsistency, but it has no reference; it is self-referential.” 1998, Lohren David Green, Interpreting Nietzche: The Role of Style in the History of Philosophy:
   • Components, or what defines the consistency of the concept, its endoconsistency, are distinct, heterogeneous, and yet not separable. 2000, South African Journal of Philosophy - Volume 19, Issues 2-4, page 291:
