"It's like computers. People think computers are different from people because they don't have minds, even though, in the Turing test, computers can have conversations with people about the weather and wine and what Italy is like, and they can even tell jokes.
But the mind is just a complicated machine.
And when we look at things we think we're just looking out of our eyes like we're looking out of little windows and there's a person inside our head, but we're looking out of little windows and there's a person inside our head, but we're not.

As I have pointed out Chris functions extremely different than most other people. He views thinking and the mind differently. He bases decisions very little off of emotions or feelings. He tends to always make logical decision using his abilities with math to decide what is the best route, kind of the way a computer works. However sometimes he finds loop holes through instructions given to him by his father, and knowingly disobeys him, but only when he can find a loop hole.
