Recent research on brain cells show that when enough connections occurs between neurones something wonderful seems to materialize. Some scientist call this "conscientiousness".
Any metabolic fonction is based on numerous , and partly random, contacts between regulatory proteins, metabolites and the genes. These interactions are the key to life.
Similarly , in any organization, interactions between individuals is key to

Thanks for this insight Harold.
