@astercontrol Kevin Flynn-ass post.
I especially like the recursion of User-Program mirroring here. The implication that not only does the User have a little doppelganger of herself living inside her computer, but that doppelganger has one of her own inside her computer- within- the- computer, and so on forever. The religious implications here, my goodness.
Wait.
What if there’s a Grid…..inside The Grid!
I’m going to be thinking about this now.
Ooooh, and what if the time dilation increases with every recursion, like the dreams-within-dreams in the movie Inception? (Pretty sure I remember that was a plot point there, each dream level increasing the warped perception of time?)
