Acted impulsively and then regretted it later. While we can be grateful that such events were not all that frequent, life was all about making such choices. From the time we woke up, till we dropped off to sleep, we repeatedly chose to act on a single option out of thousands. Each choice led to an action. Even for the simplest action, when you reached out to shut off the morning alarm, there was massive complexity underneath. That action involved muscle movements, which were sequences of contractions. Muscles responded to nerve signals instant by instant. Each signal invoked only a tiny contraction. Yet, your hand moved with clear purpose. It did not wander off on its own.

Even a computer carried out sequences of actions to meet a purpose, expressed by a Command. For the “Copy” command, the computer read bytes of data, retained them in memory and wrote them to a new location. Its purpose remained constant, while numerous actions were performed. Life followed the same theme. The activities in our lives also had hierarchies of purpose, with numerous individual actions performed to meet each objective. Switching off the alarm was a small bit of the purpose o
