So a nautilus lives in the inner ear. Nautili can withstand thousands of feet of pressure underwater, but they don't seem to do as well in the human head.
Yet nautili, characterized as they are by involute shells with depressed whorl sections, sinuous sutures, and tubular siphuncles, are not dissimilar to the human mind.
I love the way the eustachian tubes look like a heart flowing into the nautilus. It also looks like a mermaid bending backwards to wash her hair, a waterfall flowing next to the lobe, a waterslide going into the skull. I can already hear the water rushing!
