Two long rows lined side by side. Alone each unit can decide. If the rows will unite or divide. Tell me, tell me, scream it out. What's the thing I talk about?

The units itself do not decide wether the rows will unite or divide. Don't have a better answer though...

It only takes one broken unit to keep the rows from joining together. It does mention their proud spacing of each other. Would also work for railway tracks or whatever else.
