You have to think in terms of Heartbeats..

Tick
Tock

Which came first, the tick, or the tock?

In the brain it is the same thing. Tick think, tock think.

The timer is running on its own. All we have to do is steer it.

Jufa:

How can things be if they are not? And being they are not, what can they be interdependent dependent to that also is not?

.... no im not saying that a thing IS while saying there is no thing...

I'm saying a thing is because of 'that' which it isn't. Meaning that thing, and non-thing, both depend on eachother for their thing-ness, or boundedness, this means, that all things are not 'just' things, but an expression of the rest of reality which we also call non-thing.

Reality is, things never really are. Things do appear, but they are not 'just' the thing, they are Reality. The reason we belief in the death and life of things is because we are first mistaken in 'things', we might die, but we are just Reality moving on its way.

I know how to make a sentient robot. I figured it out today. Similar to the above. I'm a computer programmer, it would be very interesting to work on it.

How, Pincho? You'll be an AI god if you can pull it off.

Well you need to give it anticipation. Get the computer working on an anticipated question before it is asked. By finding the most likely following effect to your cause. I feel that it will give the computer a faster, and better response. Every computer AI that I have seen waits for you to say something before it does anything.
