Consider the human brain, a weakly pigmented anatomical complex with wrinkled lobes folded up neatly in your cranium, running on less power than a refrigerator light bulb. 16.5 centimeters long, 14 centimeters wide, nine centimeters high; about the size of two clenched fists. It is an organ that can consider itself.  We have learned that the brain’s existential weight far exceeds its physical weight of one point two kilograms. The organ manages the most spectacular of human abilities, the brain thinks. But how? From Pioneer Works, this is SCALE.
