Huh. Kind of reminds me of a biological body, and then an increasingly complex idea of a self that starts with the thought "I", and somehow becomes (not unlike html..) a huge mess requiring priests, therapists, alcohol, war, etc. to maybe sorta kinda not really manage... so that said "I" is essentially a boot loader of all the rest sometimes a-bit-too-honestly-for-most referred to as "mental illness"... :-)
