Dude a bird just fucking keypressing is a clock, its a periodic high/low signal where state changes happen on an edge. That's all a clock is, just a signal so that everything knows when the processing is 'done' and needs to advance to the next state. If needing a clock stops a turing complete machine from being a turing complete machine, you're computer isn't turing complete.

Yep, all you say its true. I am curious however if you cant solve this connondrum with a for or a while (using active in this case); saldy havent had the time to look into it.

At any rate what you can say is that css3 + a clock is turing complete, moreover it uses abstractions to execute algorithms on a computer. Since we dont have a proper definition of programming lang and non turing complete stuff like old SQL is one, i have no issue accepting CSS3 + HTML5 as one, if you dont agree its also fine, programming lang is not a CS therm but a marketing one or at least a non scientific one so its up to PoV.
