Could we of lesser minds even conceive the thoughts of a brain whose nodes are themselves individual brains? Considering a global mind is even more interesting—what do we make of the neurons who are disconnected and limited in communication methods? Are there any biological corollaries?

> Are there any biological corollaries? Not sure about disconnected neurons, but this made me think about our electronic communication, the ability for any one of us to effortlessly reach thousands or millions of people (like I do by just writing this comment). There is a biological equivalent of that in real brains: epileptic seizures. Perhaps the meta-consciousness of humanity is having an attack right now.
