Ah yes; I see now. I was thinking 'bits' maths sense - it really means (to give it a more understandable term for me) in full: "primary conscious attention object".

And at around #seven must mean a young female with good multi-tasking ability!
Mine is around 1+1/2 at best (+and- 3/4) if that, and only when fully awake, which is not often.
