For a long time, identity and contradiction were the categories in which historical trajectories were conceptualized. Following Gilles Deleuze, this essay uses the categories of reproduction and difference instead to convey an idea of how the sciences develop on the basis of experimentation---a development that does not rest on anticipation, as is usually thought, but reveals itself as a process “driven from behind,” as Thomas Kuhn once put it. The essay exposes the temporal structure characteristic of experimental systems on the basis of an example from the recent history of the life sciences.
