Um. Sure.  This is exactly what I was talking about.  Your reply makes no
sense.  Even if I twist it around in some bizarre metaphysical way so that
it seems like a real question, I still don't see how it relates to what I
said.

self-hosting: the ability to rebuild a tool using that tool, e.g. a C
compiler written in C being able to recompile itself.  Very common.  

If your 9 commands were self-hosting, they could be reimplemented using
only the 9 commands.

If a person were self-hosting it would mean...?


Have they called medication line at your facility yet?
