"... i have resorted to the category of "trajectory". it was intended to suggest a temporal movement through space, that is, the unity of diachronic succession of points through which it passes, and not the figure that these points form on a space that is supposed to be synchronic or achronic. Indeed, this "representation" is insufficient, precisely because a trajectory is drawn, and time and movement are thus reduced to a line that can be seized as a whole by the eye and read in a single moment, as one projects onto a map the path taken by someone walking through a city. however useful this "flattening out" may be, it transforms the temporal articulation of places into a spatial sequence of points. a graph takes the place of an operation. a reversible sign (one that can be read in both directions, once it is projected onto a map) is substituted for a practice indissociable from particular moments and "opportunities", and this irreversible (one cannot go backward in time, or have another chance at missed opportunities). it is thus a mark in place of acts, a relic in place of performances: it is only their remainder, the sign of their erasure. such a projection postulates that it is possible to take the one (the mark) for the other (operations articulated on occasions). this is the quid pro quo typical of the reductions which a functionalist administration of space must make in order to be effective." -- de Certeau
