When it was discovered that movement of (disembodied) parts of animals could 
be induced by electricity it became clear that the soul infused the entire 
animal, not just the brain. Perhaps a soul could be infused throughout a 
concrete statue and it would be able to stand. Perhaps that is what allowed 
Pinocchio to move about even though he was not a "real boy."
