   If the brain can be called a computer, it's a reality.   
      
   Each brain is a node.   
      
   A couple of them can be called a couple.   
   A family is a family. A tribe, a tribe.   
   Nation-states of them are called countries.   
      
   When an organism transcends its limitations   
   governed by an environment, a transition occurs   
   in the transistor-like synapses as a new path/way forms.   
      
   Dao are made in and out of such fashions of thought.
