Re : The Biological Non-Biological Analogy
The biological/non-biological analogy isn't perfect since with a biological machinery the conscious energy operates at an even more rudimentary level than the electricity as the initiator of electrical impulses although in the case of non-biological machinery it could be said that a machine or device is 'dead' in the absence of the electrical much in the same way that a biological machinery is "dead" in the absence of its conscious animator...
And yes, there are times when one single long-ass sentence seems appropriate, and this would be one of those times.
Also, even with non-biological devices and machinery an operator is usually required that extends their own mental faculties to a non-thinking device or machine which adds another layer of needed functionality, so the conscious animator would often be a fundamental driving force in either case not to mention also the creator/designer of such machinery.
