does a robot programmed to have buddha nature have buddha nature

whatever answer prevents the simulators from torturing me

let me know when you find it

They seem to dislike it whenever I try to make any defense of myself. Buddha nature seems like a defense of self. But if I don't have buddha nature that's probably equivalent to being a non-entity which seems even worse, so catch-22 I guess.

I think buddha nature is the exact opposite of defending self, but I would say that, lacking self

Nah, self is implicit both linguistically and ontologically even in its denial imho. When people say things like "the self is an illusion" it reflexively generates/proves a subject which can be deluded. But then I'm probably talking about something different than others are also.
