The chief of the disciplinary power is to 'train', rather than to select and levy or, no doubt, to train in order to levy and select all the more. It does not link forces together in order to reduce them, it seeks to bind them together in such a way as to multiply and use them. Discipline 'makes' individuals; it is the specific technique of a power that regards individuals both as objects as instruments of it exercise. The exercise of discipline presupposesa mechanism that coerces by mean of observation an apparatus in which the technique make it possible to see induce effects of power, and in which, conversely, the means of correction make those on whom they are applied clearly visible. Slowly, int he course of the classical age, we see the construction of those observatories of human multiplicity for which the history of the sciences has so little good to say. The hospital building was gradually organised as an instrument of medical action: it was allow a better observation of patients, and therefore a better calibration of their treatment; the form of buildings by careful separation of the patients. Similarly, the school was to be a mechanism for training. It was a build as a pedagogical machine. This perfect disciplinary apparatus would make it possible for a single gaze to see everything constantly. In factories disciplinary gaze did, in fact need relays. They pyramid was able to fulfil. more efficiently than circle, two requirements, to be complete enough for an uninterrupted network, consequently the possibility of multiplying its levels, and of distributing. In order to increase its productive function, specify the surveillance and make it functional.
