Machines? Really? I was hoping for something a bit more dynamic, like brains or political systems. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

I'm a little surprised 'flux and transformation' isn't the right answer. Doesn't that sound more exciting than just being a machine?

Ooh, machines. That's a good one. Everything is so rigid and predictable in those kinds of organizations.

I think political systems could also apply, with all the hierarchy and power dynamics.

The machine metaphor definitely applies here. Structured and tightly-controlled processes scream 'robotic' to me.
