The subject is the question.

On a similar thought, did Sam Copy the code over to the thing around his neck or did he Move it over?

Can you copy a 'user'?

Tron Unit Wrote:Do programs die when you turn off your computer? No. They simply shut down. Their processes interrupted. They are frozen in time until you turn it back on. From their point of view they probably would never know they were shut down or might experience a temporary lapse like unconsciousness.

This has always been my assumption as well.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Tron Unit Wrote:A person's "matter" is converted to "energy" and stored into memory. If there was a complete power failure and the system could no longer draw a current to sustain that energy, perhaps it would be lost and the user would no longer be able to be reassembled from the laser.

Maybe...The moviefone interview with the writers talks about the carbon molecules attached to the laser:

"Well, did you guys have to spend any time figuring out how a computer program could physically materialize?

Horowitz: We did. We did talk about the idea of what is being reconstituted. There is stuff that you can see in the frame, carbon molecules that are attached to the laser, that are what you are being transferred into and then how that's being turned into energy and then it's a data."


So that sort of insinuates that the matter is stored there, but they have a tendency to be a bit vague, so I could see it being a complicate amalgam of both perhaps.

Oh, and in case any one missed it, that interview is here:

Ooh, that's a neat analogy. I like that. I think the disc would be more like the data stored on the hard drive, the permenent data, whatever the technical term would be. real good thought though where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

There wasn't any power in it all that time, until Sam flipped the switches when he enters the Arcade, unless that computer was on a separate generator, but then what generator can last 20+ years without turning off? I guess since there wasn't too much use of power, it still could have stayed on, but I digress. It seems despite that, the computer still moved on, and the programs were left to their own devices, so to speak. It was running. You can see from the time lapse on the screen it said something like 20 years, 8 months, 16 hours.

Thanks, Tron Unit.

I forgot about that.

There was electricity going to Flynns, otherwise nothing would have happened when Sam flipped the switch upstairs. So we know that much is true.

Being a property of Encom no doubt it was just another property that had its bills paid automatically which is very typical of large companies (includes tax, water, etc).

The computer, and the Shiva Laser, were on its own circuit box. I have NO DOUBT Flynn would not want someone shutting off the power upstairs while he was working in the lab. I also have no doubt he had backup generators just in case as well.

I was thinking about something similar...

Could you clone a user with backups?

Also, if the system did work where turned a person completely into energy, then it wouldn't really matter what energy they used to put you back together again as long as you had the initial data. You could turn it off as long as you wanted and then just somehow use a bunch of energy to recreate the matter (which would be orders of magnitude more complicated and power intensive naturally).

So with that in mind I've come to a couple of conclusions as to how I imagine it works. In the first movie, that matter is disassembled into individual molecules and "held in the beam" probably by some sort of magnetic "bottle". In the new movie, with the more advanced laser, it stores the molecules in the cylinders around the base of the laser.

I've also thought that Flynn may have filled the cylinders with extra matter of some kind. he seemed to have been planning to bring an ISO out into the real world at some point, so I wonder if he planned ahead for that and provided the materials necessary.

Anyway, it’s all pseudoscience, so there’s always going to be a point where the logic starts to unravel. It is fun to figure out how far you can push it though

That was the story in Tron: The Ghost in the Machine.

In what ways?
