I think this is a good point. The physical prescriptions coming from
metaphorical thought about a "career path" (as an example) are pretty far
removed from the physical aspects of paths, but still I think you're right that
the physicality of action is an important piece of the puzzle.

Certainly the early code development I've started playing with already will be
done that way, but it doesn't seem too difficult to put a small computer
onboard the robot once it is built. Because I need useful hands and arms,
which I cannot build super-small, it will not be a small robot.
I'll post some pictures and so on once I get something built, but it won't be
for some months yet.
