I like your train of thought. However - the African Elephant has more than 3 times the amount of neurons that we have.

The older you get, the more patterns you spot... and the more the fractal or recursive nature of the universe gets revealed to you. I think these can all be broken down into simple archetypes, just like plus and minus repeated gives you multiplication, and exponents and so on, there are other patterns not contained in mathematics - but in computer programming, and yet others that are too subtle to capture in code even, yet all of these stare back at you constantly as you go about your day, in the rhythms and patterns of life. Physics has found some incredibly fascinnating ones, but it's still trying to pick up grains of rice with chopsticks, held with chopstics.

To me it's all about metaphors... I'd love to be able to take the time to write about these because I've not seen anyone else crack it the way I think I can, and I think I can do it in a way that will give everyone plenty of ah-hah moments.
