DAVID: Designed intelligent responses to traffic flow. dhw will say each cell knows what it is doing and thinks about what to do.

Daft! How often do I have to explain to you that in cell communities there are cells that give instructions and cells that obey instructions. The vast majority of our actions and those of our fellow organisms are automatic, but the ORIGIN of those actions will have been the intelligent response of the cell communities to changing conditions. (See "brain expansion" on origins).I wrote a parenthesis two days ago on the brain expansion thread precisely in order to stop you making such silly statements: “NB please note the distinction between the autonomous power of thought and the automatic mechanism for implementation of thought” to which I added information-gathering yesterday.
