Greg Lynn is suggesting an alternative concept of how bodies are composed, which focus on the heterogeneity rather than homogeniety. It is an approach from the base up versus from the top down.
What Greg called "Viscous Body" is an open systerm that emerged from a process of continuous differentiation of its base matters. Such process involves the interactions between the interior configurations and exterior forces, which occur at the different local surfaces of the body. He describes such interaction as "two-fold deterritorialization" that the body disperses interiors outward but simultaneously unifies a constantly shifting interior through the internalization of external forces. And he employed the concept of "parasite" to explaine how the differential process can bind disparate bodies into intergral unities. From my understanding, by using the parasite concept, he didn't imply a necessary host in viscous body.

By the way, it's really a nice idea to have blogs setup for a class. I can see through our interactions, each of our blogs will come together and form a composite body.
