Buddhist concepts as JavaScript
## Pratītyasamutpāda (Dependent Origination)
Basic principals.
```js
const a = (_this, that) => {
if (_this) that()
}
const b = (that) => {
const _this = false
// vm knows this will never be called, this code can be dropped
// and will never exist
if (_this) that()
}
const c = (_this) => {
const that = false
// vm knows this will never be called, this code can be dropped
// and will never exist
if (that && _this) return _this
}
```
### Twelve-fold chain
As a functional loop.
```js
// Avijjā (Ignorance)
const avijja = (...args) => sankhara(...args)
// Saṅkhāra (Conditioning)
const sankhara = (...args) => vinnana(...args)
// Viññāṇa (Consciousness)
const vinnana = (...args) => namarupa(...args)
// Nāmarūpa (Name & Form)
const namarupa = (...args) => salayatana(...args)
// Saḷāyatana (Six Sense Bases)
const salayatana = (...args) => phassa(...args)
// Phassa (Contact)
const phassa = (...args) => vedana(...args)
// Vedanā (Sensation)
const vedana = (...args) => tanha(...args)
// Taṇhā (Craving)
const tanha = (...args) => upadana(...args)
// Upādāna (Clinging)
const upadana = (...args) => bhava(...args)
// Bhava (Being)
const bhava = (...args) => jati(...args)
// Jāti (Birth)
const jati = (...args) => jaramarana(...args)
// Jarāmaraṇa (Old Age & Death)
const jaramarana = (...args) => avijja(...args)
