   • 1996, Gilles Deleuze, ‎Félix Guattari, What Is Philosophy?, →ISBN, page 137:

     Now, according to the two aspects of Gödoel's theorem, proof of the consistency of arithmetic cannot be represented within the system (there is no endoconsistency), and the system necessarily comes up against true statements that are nevertheless not demonstrable, are undecidable (there is no exoconsistency, or the consistent system cannot be complete).

   • 1998, Lohren David Green, Interpreting Nietzche: The Role of Style in the History of Philosophy:

     The concept just always is its consistency in its variations: “the concept is defined by its consistency, its endoconsistency and exoconsistency, but it has no reference; it is self-referential.”

   • 2000, South African Journal of Philosophy - Volume 19, Issues 2-4, page 291:

     Components, or what defines the consistency of the concept, its endoconsistency, are distinct, heterogeneous, and yet not separable.

   • 2012, Thomas Nail, Returning to Revolution: Deleuze, Guattari and Zapatismo, →ISBN, page 126:

     The concrete machinic assemblage, according to Deleuze and BGuattari, has an internal or endoconsistency that 'renders components inseparable within itself'.
