Omg guys. What if. Hear me out. What if the system created the ISOs to free itself from from Flynn. You know that one screenshot that circulated around that showed that the Grid had 2 Users and it was speculates to be Jordan? What if Flynn brought her to the system while she was pregnant (not knowing she was pregnant) and the Grid used the code of Building Child to create the ISOs

ok this is Fascinating

and I am curious, what do you mean by “free itself from Flynn”

like, are you thinking the Grid’s idea was that it would not need Flynn as a User anymore if it made the ISOs?

love the idea anyway

(love LOTS of the theories about how and why the ISOs appeared)

(my own latest fic has a whole barely-explored subplot about how 1. there were Encom ISOs too, and 2. Encom is aware of the Grid ISOs and built a secret connection to rescue some of them… I swear i will explore this more in some later fic)
