This is great, I assumed that dependent origination was just a way of expressing the total determinism that seems to be implicit if there is no self. Your way of interpreting it is more subtle but seems to need more mental effort to practice!
Thanks so much for reading David! Yes, I was very excited to learn about this interpretation. It may also explain the "realms" one can be reborn into; I like the idea of karma taking place over successive states of mind within a day, and may write more soon :) Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts!
