The idea that programs die and are gone forever in the Tron universe is so stupid to me

Save them on a usb or something idk I don’t believe that

Yeah there’s a lot of possibilities– restoring from backup, recovering, refactoring

(I went off about a bunch of them in this post and then later I did a fic about Clu1 and Ram and the theory that Bits are involved in restoration from backup…)

(someday i AM gonna write about how some programs killed in the Games were actually derezzed into a cut-paste buffer and reused. There’s evidence of this both under Clu2 on Flynns Grid, and under the MCP)
