A theater professional has scudded into Neurophilosophy. His work is an alternative to the general direction of the brain function theory today and offers insights into the nature of the story as the fundamental tool of the brain's own philosophy. Where most writers on the subject of brain function use the theater as a metaphor for the brain, Charlot posits that a theater is a brain. These brains participate in a continuum of consciousness that passes through the mind and on up the layers of human organization to culminate in countries. The story is the fundamental tool of the brain's own philosophy and as such stories are living entities themselves.
