These stages of the disease process are sometimes difficult to distinguish one from another as you can see in stages six and seven, and how they can work together as we see in stages four and five. Disease is the daemon(theater) and the seven stages in this theater are its seven friends that it brings to bear. According to Wikipedia, in multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. The term was coined by the programmers at MIT's Project MAC. They took the name from Maxwell's demon, an imaginary being from a thought experiment that constantly works in the background, sorting molecules. | These stages of the disease process are sometimes difficult to distinguish one from another as you can see in stages six and seven, and how they can work together as we see in stages four and five.
