Hey Barry! I didn't know you belive in god! :-)

Anyway, and also reffering to the subject, I think that it is better to look
at things the other way arround (Bach did...) - Time is a result of the
fact that not everything is happening at once (and so is the illusion of
cause-effect).  You see, what we view as time (that is what our watches
mausre), is not realy time but the application of some function on time (which
is actualy complex)... sounds crazy? well I donno... read Leibniz'es
'Monodelogy' an see for yourself...

oh BTW, I missed the original posting...  so what the hell does this has to do
with AI???
