The major difficulty of discussing immanence in philosophy is that the philosophical theory must be immanent to what it discusses. In other words, there is no outside to immanence since everything is on the same level of interaction in order to be immanent.

Diagrams are structures with moving parts, and these types of structures are able to portray how immanence works without creating a transcendent theory or set of rules.
