I think that it is important to not generalize about the way "the human mind" thinks. What I have found is that different human minds think differently, especially on the higher end of the intelligence spectrum where all the good programmers are. Hence, some people think verbally, in terms of words; other people think visually, in terms of pictures. From this duality arise the perennial CLI-vs.-GUI flamewars on Usenet. Maybe with enough Zen meditation we can perceive The Oneness of Everything, and thus transcend objects altogether. (I could be wrong, but I think there are some really adept LISP hackers who have done this. :))
