Since aging for users is slowed in the Grid, will programs age faster in the real world?
Will Quorra look like Grandma Quorra in 24hrs?
Do programs age? Well they get revised, and so I guess that is form of aging. Programs often start slick and lean and over time as more and more 'features' are added they get slower and become 'bloated', which kinda resembles the human process.
Quorra does have 'human' styled DNA so maybe that will allow her to be a hybrid between both worlds and not suffer the accelerated time effects of the 'Real Word'.

Haha, I never thought of it that way. Like a program "middle age spread." Maybe that's how you become an inoperative data pusher.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion What do you want? I'm busy.

In the Tron 2.0 game the programs that became bloated like that were called resource hogs. They are big programs and they would stand near a wall and draw energy from it heh.

In addition, they also show I-No, who happens to be the old program that helps out Jet. There's a good chance that programs may age (as we get with I-No), but since the game is not a part of the canon of the films, the only other example of programs aging is Dumont, the I/O Tower Guardian. Now, you're probably thinking, "But Dumont's old because of his programmer." Not necessarily. Remember, Dumont told Stark, "I remember the MCP when it was just a chess program." (much like his creator does). So, unless it was only a couple of years prior to the events of TRON, everything suggests that Dumont was in the Encom servers for quite a while.
But, the thing we have to keep in mind is this: Since Quorra is in our world, her body would have to follow the same rules and limitations as us. I say this because if you think about it, you can't throw an ID Disc in the same manner as you can on the Grid, because the disc would act like a normal frisbee, and would fall to the ground due to gravity. We know that Users going into the system are susceptible to the rules of the Grid (as we've seen in T:L during the Sam and Rinzler Disc-Battle, in which as we see, when the gravity shifted, Sam's body abided, both times). So, if a human user's existence on the Grid abides by rules of the Grid, then Quorra's existence has to abide by the rules of the real world. That includes having to age. Any living thing ages in the real world. The moment she came out of the system.
The best counter argument for the above is this: Kevin Flynn was on the Grid for 20 years and still aged, while Quorra and everyone else remained the same. Since he was human and aged in our world, logic dictates that since Quorra is a program and hasn't aged over the 20 years, that even in our world, she shouldn't.
The point is there's a lot of details that backs up both possibilities. And we won't really know until the next film.

This is a very good question! And I am not sure of the answer!! What I do know is she has the special DNA so maybe she won't age?
Plus she is more of a program right?
But If Sam and the rest of the humans discover the secret
they can also live forever right???
Wow so many questions so little time!!!

If it takes another two decades to get a squeal, then yes she will age... if they start filming this year, then she'll look like she did when she came out to the real world!  END OF LINE |

Why does everyone seem to take it as a given that the triple-helix representation of Quorra's code that Flynn pulled up corresponds to real-world biology in any meaningful way? I hear people talk about how she has 'triple-stranded DNA' in the real world like it's an established fact, on the basis of that one scene. That strikes me as a bit of a leap, considering how little evidence we have.
I honestly don't think the Lost Boys cared enough to work out the mechanics of Quorra's transition to the real world - I think they just liked the idea of her being there and the imagery of the final scene with her and Sam riding into the sunrise on his bike, and figured they'd come up with pseudoscience to explain the details later if they absolutely had to. (Their 'explanation' seemed to boil down to 'If people can go in, then programs can come out, and we're going to handwave the rest.'.) Now whoever ends up writing the sequel has the unenviable task of trying to explain what being a 'program in the real world' actually means, and work out the mechanics of it.
Maybe the next screenwriter will say real-world Quorra's biologically human in all respects (save, perhaps, for one crucial difference that will prove pivotal to the plot). Or maybe they'll decide that she's a genetically perfect being, who doesn't age or suffer from illness. Perhaps they'll say she's not even an organic being as we know it, that her 'body' is actually composed of raw matter suspended in a freestanding energy field bearing her program data, so she'll need to absorb ambient energy for sustenance and will shatter into glassy cubes if she's injured, just like her body on the Grid. All of those possibilities and more are equally likely at this point, which makes it tough for me to speculate on her body's properties.

I agree with Argent. It will be an unbelievable task. Although it made for a cool and beautiful final scene for her to see the sun and see them riding down the road, I wish they had figured out a plot or ending that didn't involve a program entering the real world. Way too much pseudoscience to figure out or speculate on now. Tron isn't meant to be Weird Science. I hope Tron 3 reveals that for her construct to remain intact, she needs to quickly get back into the computer. After seeing the real world firsthand, she can help build a beautiful computer world inside the computer. Not one that looks and acts like the real world... Just more colorful and beautiful than TL's world.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

I always wondered that too. Especially since we have no idea what any other program's code would look like if pulled up in the same manner, so we don't know that it would be different. Nor do we know what user code looks like-- for all we know, if you whipped open Flynn's disc he'd have 16-stranded "DNA" code
But then I realize I'm also guilty of not believing Q's some supernatural wonder who's going to turn the world on its head. I know Flynn thought so, but he truly has no idea, and I think he was talking big to Alan (and let's face it: he was excited, and not exactly an objective observer anyway). Quantum teleportation? Sure. Changing science, medicine, and religion? Bit more of a stretch, I think. Science in that scientists could study evolution in an extremely shortened timespan with the Isos, sure, program physiology, exactly how the Grid works, yada yada. Medicine because again, they could look at how the Isos evolved so quickly, people could live in-Grid and feel like they had longer lives. Religion because now everyone can be deity of their own little world.
But to say Quorra's gonna bring on some kind of Age of Aquarius (which I say at the risk of having that bloody song stuck in my head all day)? I'm pretty skeptical about that. (Hell, let's have them reveal her to the world on 12/21/12 while we're at it!) Perhaps it was, as we've speculated in the past, just bad writing that doesn't portray Q as much that's very special in the way they tried to imply with Flynn's beliefs, but I just don't see what the big deal about her is.

Normal DNA, probably. But you have to remember something: Quorra has digital DNA. That's the thing about Quorra and the ISOs: there are no imperfections in the DNA.

It'd make a lot of sense as to why Flynn stopped trying to make "the perfect system" if you actually think about it. Because he found perfection with the "naturally" grown, DNA-Perfected ISOs within the flawed system.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

The possibilities of their root code, their "digital DNA" -- Disease? History! Science, philosophy, every idea man has ever had about the universe, up for grabs. Biodigital jazz, man. |
You're taking Flynn's reference to 'digital DNA' as a literal statement. I always read it as a figure of speech, myself. Even though their root code can be described as 'digital DNA' - it's a nice analogy - that doesn't mean we should assume there's some one-for-one correspondence with real-world biology going on there.
We still don't know if ISOs are supposed to have DNA in the human sense per se, or if the portal system can automagically transcribe program code into its nearest human analogue and vice-versa.
To be honest, I think mentioning 'disease' there was a misstep on the part of the writers. Obviously the idea was to impress the audience with how important Quorra was supposed to be. Maybe they felt having the ISO's 'just' revolutionize science and philosophy would be too esoteric for some viewers, so they decided to throw in something a little more meat-and-potatoes that they thought everyone could relate to - they'd represent the end to disease! Unfortunately, when you start tossing grand statements like that into a script, you really need to work out the details, and I don't feel the writers cared enough to bother. Quorra was important because Flynn said she was, and we're supposed to take that on faith. The same with programs being able to enter the real world at all. Nevermind the mechanics of it, Clu 'found a way', Flynn said so, and that should be enough for the audience. To me, that's just lazy writing.
Hopefully whoever writes the script for the next movie will try to make the pseudoscience a little more plausible, and work through the implications of the things they introduce in the story.

I wonder if they were trying to tie in things like the stem cell research issue. Because with Betrayal, I definitely felt there was some deeper delving into issues that could parallel many current real-world issues (overpopulation/population control, immigration, xenophobia, the list goes on), I think both to illustrate that the digital and real worlds are not so different, and to make the reader consider what s/he really thought about those issues. Maybe somebody told them "hey, it doesn't have to be ALL fluff just because it's a film" and they made a half-assed effort?

I think it's no coincidence that they used helix to represent her code. Wasn't it in the comics that Flynn mentioned something about, when he was pulled into the computer, his DNA became part of the computer code resulting in the instability and the ISOs? That's what made the ISOs different from the other programs. They had human code mixed with computer code. Maybe, that's what the 3rd helix represents. A man machine mixture of some kind.
Techno-sapiens believe that technology integration is the next step of evolution, so maybe this is a techno-sapien themed movie. A kind of a play on the term "Deus Ex Machina"; God out of a Machine. Since humans represent a deity in Tron, the ISOs having human DNA would be both a machine and a deity.
It could be that's why Flynn's disk was so important. It had the human code necessary to make all programs into ISOs, allowing them to leave the computer world. It was the key to becoming a deity. To replace Flynn and conquer "heaven". The disk could be Tron Legacy's version of the philosopher's stone.
