Forgive me if this has been discussed already.

The plot behind Legacy was the Clu wanted Flynn's disc so he could go to the real world. But could Clu (or any program) exist, live, survive, in the real world?

They function off light and energy from the computer. How would they function in the real world?

Discuss.

Since, Quorra was able to fully function outside of the system. I don't see why Clu couldn't have as well. Maybe it's a technicality since, being an ISO, she is already a being similar enough to humans. She's still code to start with.

hmmm. maybe if we had seen what happened to that orange that got digitized in TRON 82'
then that would answer some question about how things change fundamentally.

I'm not sure exactly how Isos are more similar to humans. I mean, technically they're still programs, right, just not programs written by people. But I'm not convinced that makes them any 'better" or more "human-like" than other programs, unless there was something in T:U I don't know about their nature?

It would make sense for them to retain their functionality once translated into human world. I just don't know how a massive floating vessel would work, because we don't any existing hover technology as a parallel.

But they get their energy/power/fuel whatever from light, and computer energy and stuff. They wouldn't just pull into the local gas station and fill up.

Also these Recos take tons of energy to run!

Well, apparently they run on little enough power (electricity) that the power bill for the arcade didn't raise any eyebrows....
