Am I deluded, or are you doing there Deleuze rather masterfully? Reading so well that you internalize the method and can apply it creatively is what I call loyalty to the text.
Honestly, one of the reasons Deleuze appeals to me so much is that he expresses that thing my mind does. The rhizomatic schizoanalytic approach is literally just how I think, which... probably says something about me.

Hey, if I were inclined to go with a gender specific personification of emptifullness, I might go with 'she' as well, although in keeping with Lao Tzu's aphorism 'true words seem paradoxical', I prefer to make up compound neologisms—albeit any name that can be named feels woefully inadequate.

As the language freak simpleton I would be inclined to call emptifullness Spirit, as breathing empties and fills. Goddess in whom we are dreamed and feel, well, Goddess.
Functional name theology?

If Spirit spears it for you, go with that transfixation ... Relevant too is that betwixt the emptying and filling is the stillpoint that T S Elliot references in his masterpiece ... not to mention that according to the gospel of Thomas 'It is a movement and a rest.'

Yes, the rests at extremes are relevant, but have you tried stillpoint in the middle, trying to guess which way breathing continues after a middle pause?

Nope, can't say that I have, not being one for meditative breath attention. Does it go something like this?
