The complexity of the biological thinking process is prohibited by the historical concentration of processes onto a single machine. With the ability to define model objects, and then access them using a standard data interface, this barrier is broken. The hurdle of coding models that approximate the function of the brain has also been insurmountable as long as development was dictated, managed, and organized within a company. The upper limit on programs of this origin seems to be in the range of 10 million lines. The growth of open source development opens the door to the integration of many codes to form the billions of lines necessary to approach human capacity for thought.
