The Mind
Placeholder root. This file is an overview only; detailed nested scaffolding will be built later.
The mind is what the brain does — thinking, feeling, remembering, perceiving, and choosing. The physical brain is catalogued under the nervous system; this root is reserved for the experience and behavior that arise from it.
