time is always independent. Time is a function of, i.e. dependent on, NOTHING.

Not sure what you are getting at but an example of a dependent/independent variable is something like y = x+ 1 ... x is the independent variable because you can throw any number in for x. However, the value of Y 'depends' on the value of x.
I would assume that your independent variable is TIME. And whatever your output is, is the dependent variable. Like how accurate you can draw the star with the pencil vs the pen in a given amount of TIME???
