Just quickly, and again perhaps I misunderstand, but you seem to infer that groups are formed as a result of some sort of administrative function as opposed to being self organising and emergent in nature, is that right?

@cjmackay01 : there is no such thing as a "group"... there are networks, and in certain configurations we can discriminate between one subnetwork and another.

In reality there is not a "set of molecules" of which you asolutely exist... some molecules are being absorbed, and some are being exhausted, some are in situ, in the stomach, geometrically "in" you, but not digest, and thus not in your body in some other nutritive v toxic standpoint.

All groups are like this.

You're losing me a little, can you point me to where I can find your definition of group, tell me how you distinguish between groups and networks? Further, I don't really follow why you classify, for example, a group as scientists as opposed to a group of people who do science. I was just thinking that to the observer, the individuals within a group are irrelevant whereas internally the individuals are all important. A matter of perspective maybe. I would certainly be interested in your thoughts

@cjmackay01 : distinction between groups and networks... there is no such thing really as a "group" I use the term to communicate a network concept in a somewhat familiar way. For me technically a "group" in a DB is a name and description (in a sense, a name and an idea) and membership is tracked separately where it matters who attributed the membership, whether the individual themselves agrees with the attribution, and if the assigner is the group's "caretaker".

@blackcrow6667 : my favorite quote of all time is also N, the beware when fighting monsters and remember when gazing into the abyss.

The first half of the video i was thinking how i don't like groups but, the second half did a really good job of explaining.
