Title: People think in units, don't they?

Hi,

"The unit of social intercourse is called a transaction. ..."

Good to see that people are still reading Eric Berne.

Your problem is that Berne used "unit" in its colloquial meaning as "pretty much any set with a boundary", which can signify, say, an "industrial unit" (a building) or one of the packages or individual products within it, whereas you seem to be interpreting it in its physics sense as "a defined quantity", say a second or a gram.

Yes, god created things and spaces, and flows too.
