Fate of the first system

on Monday, May, 23, 2011 11:24 PM
At the end of the first film, Flynn saved the first Grid/system, and all looked well for the occupying programs there. Then Legacy rolls around, and we find out he's abandoned that world to create his own more versatile version from scratch. This opens up many questions. I'll list them out and give my theories on the answers. You're encouraged to answer them also.

1. Why did Flynn create something new, instead of updating the original?

Maybe it was too much work to update, and more efficient to start all over.

2. If Tron is in the new system, who is protecting the original?

Flynn could have created another guardian program for the original, but this is unlikely. If that were the case, he may as well have left Tron there and depended entirely on CLU to protect the new system.

I believe one of two things happened: 1. Flynn extracted most of the programs who wanted to go and afterward irresponsibly left the original to its own devisings. 2. He extracted the programs and then shut the system down. This leads us right into the next question.

3. Where is Yori?

This is a bothersome one. None of the possible theories are particularly positive.

Last we saw of Yori, she had a clearly established relationship with Tron. By the end of the first film. In Legacy, there is a complete lack of any mention or hint of her. Using my two theories on the fate of the old system in the last question, we may be able to make some educated guesses.

Flynn extracted most of the programs who wanted to go and afterward irresponsibly left the original to its own devisings.

This means Yori continued living in the first world. This is the most positive outcome, but may not be saying too much. It means her fate is entirely ambiguous, as she was without contact with either Flynn or Tron for two decades. Who knows what exactly happened to her.

He extracted the programs and then shut the system down.

Given what little information we have on the issue, this is the most likely. But if the first system is shut down, that means Yori either chose to stay in there (What would be her motivation for even staying in suspended animation? Even if they were romantically separated at this point, I can see Tron absolutely refusing to leave her there) or came with them.

BUT. . . if Yori had migrated to Flynn's new system, why do we never see her in the flashbacks in T:L? Did she take up working in some facility, and take a passive role in the mission to create the perfect system?

Once CLU took over, things get even more murky. We have zero reason to believe she made contact with Flynn afterward ("There are no guests, kiddo").

Here are my conclusions: The old system is gone. Yori is in the new system. Her absence was due to some sort of corruption of her code, much like Tron underwent.

1. My theory is that Flynn wanted a new system because it wasn't exactly supposed to be a real system. The ENCOM system is programs doing what they were designed to do, and nothing else. Flynn's system, since it's created from the inside, is a system designed to be a world, if you catch my drift. I can explain it in a more detailed way, if anybody doesn't get it. Also, I'm sure he didn't want everyone at ENCOM watching what he does.

2. As with the real life programs like Word and Excel, there are obviously multiple copies of these programs. Flynn either copied Tron to his own system, or moved Tron than put a copy in the old system.

3. Since the ENCOM system is still alive (most likely) (probably upgraded and alot different) I'm guessing that Yori is still there. Since the next movie will obviously have EdJr. as the villain, and since the fate of Flynn's grid at the end of the movie is ambiguous, that TR3N will take place on the ENCOM grid- which would make it easier for everything they're so obviously planning to fit into place. I'm willing to bet Yori will be a part of the next film.


Your idea of Flynn shutting the ENCOM system down after moving all the programs is highly illogical- this is a system owned and run and managing a fortune 500 company. The original system is not Flynn's, it's ENCOM's. He can't just "shut it down". where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

In the flashback, all he talks about is bringing Tron from the old system, but not what happened to the old system. Hard to believe Tron would leave Yori behind. Maybe something had happened to her offscreen, so now she is gone. It may have been better to focus on the old Grid that Flynn updated, thus explaining the changes. Does seem like he took what he wanted from the old Grid and left it to its own devices.

My only excuse for Flynn is that the old grid didn't need Tron anymore. Or Alan could have created an upgraded system monitor. I still wish Flynn had confided in Alan, at the least, but all reports indicate he never did.

Think it through. We're talking about an expanse of several years where computers were advancing rapidly. It's conceivable, even likely, that the system we saw in TRON was not only upgraded here and there, but eventually replaced altogether with new equipment.

That goes for programs as well. As technology advances, Yori probably became obsolete as far as practical use goes. That's in case you want to try to tell me she would've be relocated to the newer ENCOM computers. That's doubtful.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Actually, I find it pretty easy to believe he would've left Yori behind. Remember when Flynn and Ram were supposedly derezzed by the tanks during their escape from the game grid? He shouted "NO!" and than seemingly never showed any thought of it again. It's quite conceivable that programs simply don't become so attached to other programs. You're next argument may be that he'd only just met Flynn and Ram, but there's no evidence to support that Tron and Yori have known each other that long anyways.

Alright, okay, you have a good point. It's likely Yori didn't make it- in the sense of THAT EXACT Yori. I mean, what if when Yori became obsolete, Lora developed a NEW program to control the Shiva laser? It wouldn't be Yori, but it could be named Yori and would look like Yori. It seems to me like the most plausible way of bringing Yori/Lora back- because you know they will. With all of this fan uproar, there's no way they could not have Yori in the 3rd installment. They're finding a way to have Ram come back, and Ram was alot less important than Yori to the ENCOM system- I have faith that Disney will come up with a way.

He's a warrior on a religious mission. If a human were in TRON's exact position, you could find a lot of the same stoic behavior.

"I knew you'd escape. They haven't built a circuit that could hold you yet."

The way they act toward one another, what they say... sure, it isn't pure evidence, but it strongly hints they go back a ways.

Sure, they may react better to it than someone else, but I've seen more emotional responses come out of people who lose game progress when they forget to save, or people who just accidentally dropped their wallet off of a cliff. Think about it- Tron just saw two lives get taken away. I don't think "religious mission" would cause a less emotional reaction, I honestly think it's just the emotional limitations of being a program.

He created The Grid as a private, isolated system for him to do private research with that concerned the Shiva laser, and eventually, the ISOs.

2. If Tron is in the new system, who is protecting the original?

Probably Tron. Tron is Alan's program, and Alan can update him as he sees fit. This isn't covered in Legacy since Legacy is about The Grid, and not the Encom system. I think Flynn copied Tron to The Grid, since it would have been easier to use an efficient security program that already exists instead of writing a new one from scratch.

3. Where is Yori?

Probably in the Encom system. I think we confirmed a while ago that Yori was the program responsible for handling most of the digitizing process in the original film. Since the digitizing process works differently with The Grid, I think it's safe to say that maybe Flynn wrote a completely new program to handle the digitizing. Why not use Yori since she's already a finished program? Maybe he wanted the digitizing process to be different with The Grid.

Just because the Encom system isn't in Legacy doesn't mean it was destroyed. I would think that it was upgraded over time along with most of the programs in it.

The way Flynn words it makes it sound like he brought in the Tron from the old system. Nonetheless, Tron from T:L could have been a copy, and Flynn inaccurately worded his recounting.

An upgraded version of her could have been relocated to or installed to the newer Encom computers, though.

I don't think we have yet figured out here a plausible explanation for what may have happened to Yori. All I can come up with is that some point she maybe got killed by Clu somehow. Because I can't see her standing for the whole Rinzler thing.

As far as the system...machines go obsolete. Hell, i haven't yet recycled my old desktop that died, nor my mom's, but they were about 8-9 and 10-11 years old, respectively, when they finally went. It happens. What are you going to do, keep upgrading the hardware forever? To me it seems just an accepted thing: the original mainframe is long gone. That's no more tragic than any other computer replacement, from a user standpoint. Especially a business would replace equipment more often than a private person would. Several months ago they replaced all of our workstations at work. Nothing was wrong with them as far as I could see--they must've just decided they were too old. It happens.

I personally can't think why Flynn would WANT to take a weird, secret, new personal project and put it on a work server. That would be the last place I'd take it. Someone might see the system log. Someone might wonder why you spend so much time in the digitization lab. Someone might wonder what all this new software is and delete it. Someone might get on you for using work resources for your personal stuff. No way.

He didn't leave the original server "to its own devices" in an "irresponsible" manner. That system was functioning just fine without him for who knows how long before he ever went near the laser. He popped in once, got rid of a troublesome program....how does that make it so the server is just unable to function without him forever after, then?

And why couldn't Flynn move the original Tron and a replacement copy be put on the Encom server? Programs can be copied. You want two of them, no big deal. You want to replace one with another, great. Or maybe they came up with something else and Flynn thought, "hell, nobody needs Tron here anymore, I'll take him." For all we know he was about to be deleted in favor of the next best thing and Flynn saved him.


As far as not being emotional...there are a lot of scenes in T:L where even users aren't that emotional. I mean, take the end. Tron sacrifices himself for Flynn AGAIN. Nobody even ACKNOWLEDGES that, let alone implies that they feel bad that good ol' Tron is gone. Sam sees his dad die, and while he is pretty shocked and grief-stricken in the Grid, once he's back to the real world he looks pensive about it for a minute, then bops upstairs and gets all smiley with Alan and Quorra and you'd think nothing had happened.

Maybe Sam has no reason to be heartbroken...yet. He may have something up his sleeve to save ol' Dad. Or he is prioritizing, save Encom from the greedys first, then save Dad. The film does kind of just stop. So I'm hoping the next one doesn't go too far in the future and skip over answers we want.

Several months ago they replaced all of our workstations at work. Nothing was wrong with them as far as I could see--they must've just decided they were too old. It happens. Right. Although, you see- Lora Baines was still developing for Encom, for all we know she's been working there forever. So, my personal theory is that when the supercomputer from the first film was replaced, that Lora developed- and I mean, she had to- a new program, possibly named something akin to Yori 2.0 (or like Ma3a) to control the Shiva laser. Whether this new Yori will have the same memories and affection for Tron as her predecessor, that leaves room for some exploration.

But as I said, he could have been copied, or replaced with a different security system entirely...and if the latter, it would explain why Flynn felt free to take him and why he would agree to leave.

That's possible.

BUT the questions that immediately come to mind are: Why did he bother writing another security system for the old one? He could better use it for the new. And why would he have bothered copying TRON in the first place? This all indicates the old system was about to go under ("shut off").

Flynn took TRON because he was a valuable program that would've been a waste to leave on a dead system. Here's the best way to describe it: "You know, I really don't need this old car, but it gets the job done, it looks sleek, and it's a classic. Better to take it with me than leave it in this dusty shop that's doors are about to close for good." And of course, if TRON is going, so is Yori.

I still believe the modern ENCOM systems are distinctly separate from their 29 year old systems. And if Yori is in the modern ENCOM, which is wishful thinking at best, she'd be so heavily edited and updated that it'd hardly be Yori anymore.

Depends on the film descriptive I've read. One article said Flynn transferred the Tron program from the old system, another said he copied it over. Totally different things.

Actually, in my fanfic, the way I had it work out is that after the whole MCP thing, the Board was like, "Great, Bradley's program did its job and got rid of the MCP, now we need a real security program that has a bit more broad of a purpose" and commission a bunch of programmers to write one. They won't listen to Alan's protests that Tron IS a broad-purpose program that wasn't just written to get rid of the MCP, and bam, Flynn says "well damn, I'll take Tron then" and he does.

(then of course later some bug or virus gets onto the system, takes out the new security program, and Tron has to be ported over to fix the fiasco, but yeah)order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion
