And it makes up the largest percentage of DNA.<BR/><BR/>Its like being able to describe things as Objects and Relationships. Turns out there are only 5 basic objects (which describe <B>who, what, where, when, why,</B>) but there are thousands of relationships (We just have the uncanny ability to <I>ignore</I> those because they are <B>recursively defined</B>.)<BR/><BR/>Its like the true wonder of integrated circuits, (and what won <I>Robert Noyce</I>, who was at Fairchild Semiconductor and <I>Jack Kilby</I>, who was at Texas Instruments, and made them rich and famous. [It was not because of their work with components, but because they had found a solution to the inter-connection problem.])<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>Its a question of <B>knowing</B> and <B>understanding</B> what we know.<BR/><BR/>We don't need any new kind of brain circuitry to do that.<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>Sadly, there are those wasteful bastards who want to shut everything off and pull the plug: <I>The fundamentalists</I>!Charles-A.
