First, perhaps you meant to use the contraction "you're" instead
of the possessive"your"; that is, to say "YOU'RE A GOD!", which
means "YOU ARE A GOD!", rather than "YOUR A GOD!" which in English
is not a meaningful phrase.

Second, Vickson's reply followed McJason's post by about 2 hours,
so your "all that time" comment is lame, given that you took 3
hours to reply to Vickson's post.

Third, McJason didn't ask a question. He or she apparently wants
to present some kind of model for a machine or automaton but in
posts so far has been somewhat incoherent and inconsistent and
hasn't clearly described the ideas or rules the machine obeys.
