ARE
HANDLED SEPARATELY,
SO THAT THE USER'S EMAILPROGRAM
MUST SEND AND RECEIVE EMAIL VIA DISTINCT SOFTWARE ENTITIES
THAT OFTEN OPERATE BY COMMECTING TO DIFFERENT REMOTE MACHINES?

The computer's software-based abilities are usually divided into Client Programs
that request and accept services from other programs {often at the behest of a user},
& Server Programs that accept these requests & provide an appropriate service!

At the human level, when Martin at computer A sends email to Jonathan at computer B containing the line 'I am happy to speak to you' & Jonathan replies, 'And I am happy to speak to you,' we easily sort out the meaning of the words "I" & "You" in this polar relationship from context!? But, even in the siMplest case in which both computers handle their own email delivery (without relying on external ser-vice providers, as most private internet users must do), the relay of the messages & reply involves six steps among four connected but independently functioning software entities. [Here again I, Mor, have to skip some stuff because it seems to boring to me with all these computers speaking to each other through delivery of email message & delivery of email reply via A><B vice versa {123456}!] These features of the internet ~ the division of client & server functions into separate software entities & the consistent use of third person identification ~ are not necessary requirements of the machine communication, but are intended to make the Internet a robust "open system" in which machines can communicate without any prior formal acquaintance. Many common systems function by invoking first & second person formulations, so that for example, if Martin's computer & Jonathan's computer have been properly introduced to one an-other, they can exchange email messages by respectively announcing, "I have an email message for you," & "I have a reply message for you,"!? In that case, in any message arriving on a network cable, the word 'I' refers to the sender & 'You' refers to the software that accepts the message, while the opposite associations hold for messages leaving leaving on the network cable. Nevertheless, it would be an unreasonable stretch to argue that the computer invoking the word "I" has unified its fragmented experience into a consistent subjective ego. [I, Mor, hate it when 'advertisementprograms' 'talk' to me all the time by pretending I need their commercial offers ...]!
