Default A relatively simple explanation ( I hope) of MG.

I realized that in some of my posts I may be using too much medical terminology.

So, I decided to try and explain this in a more simple, Alice-way.

I have a disclaimer: This is an imaginary story. I don't think there are aliens that abduct people and talk to them (although if I did, it could fit with some of the "diagnoses" given to me over the last few years).

Also, take into account that the graphics I use are a bit limited, so use your imagination to fill in the gaps. I had to divide it to different posts and also use less repeats than I wanted, because you can't use so many graphics in one.

Chapter I: A small factory-getting to know the workers.

This is Mo.

His job is to operate a machine which moves "thing" from one place to the other.
But, he is not alone because his small machine doesn't have enough power to move much, so he has to operate his machine at the exact same time that others Mo's do so together they can move "things". If they don't work together at the exact same time, they will not be able to move much and will waste their energy doing nothing.


But, how can we make them all work together at the same time?
That is why we have Co.
His job is to pour a special fuel into their machine. Once he has done that they can push the button and operate it. This way they all do it together at the same time.

So, if each Co. puts the fuel at the same time into the machine of each Mo. every-thing is nicely coordinated and "things" move properly.




But, wait a minute. How do we make all those Co's put the fuel in the machine at the same time?

That's easy, For that we have Ao.
Ao. gives an order to Co. And then Co. puts in the fuel so that Mo. can operate his little machine.
