A computer is a machine.. the human body is a machine..
Both need programmers.. operators.. spirits..
The metaphorical split(between them) is small.. the reality is dynamic..
The simile goes further, the brain is already computer.. but a "computer" is an extension/tool/aid of the brain..
The brain could be/is a tool of the spirit/operator..
For operating in "this dimension"/sphere..
When the computer ceases to operate or burns out..
The programmer may not.. but continues..
If the machine needs an operator to function..
Where does the operator come from?..
Where does the operator go? when divided/separated from the machine?..
Excellent sidebar(subthread) there, I would say..
Could make and fill a whole thread itself..

Indeed, it could be a thread of its own. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
