The smooth and the striated space are fundamentally different. Sometimes the difference is simply the opposite of the other - sometimes the distinction is much more complex and while Deleuze and Guattari
consider these two spaces to differ in nature, they also believe that the two spaces in fact exist only in mixture.
In the simplest terms, Boulez says that in a smooth spacetime
one occupies without counting, whereas in a striated space-time one
counts in order to occupy.
The Sea and the City are the smooth and striated spaces par excellence.
