Re: Holography and memory

In Response To: Re: Holography and memory (Jillybean) : So a spore could have the vaguest thought of 'get more bodies' : A combat form thinks 'get more bodies to obtain more bodies' : A command form thinks 'get more bodies to delegate different bodies' : A Gravemind thinks 'get more bodies to feed the insatiable need for food'? What I was thinking more resembles: - an Infection Form has only the vaguest "idea" of what it is. However its instincts will drive it to seek a host. - a Combat Form steals from the host's brain mostly, but "remembers" some basic strategic goals of the Flood's compound intelligence. Get enough together, and their shared intellect will regain enough memories to remember that they have to gather bodies and assemble a Brain Form. - a Brain Form connects all the stored memories from the Infection and Combat Forms together and, from that "back up", reconstructs Gravemind's personality and redistributes it throughout the Flood's compound intelligence network. This eliminates the need to have a Brain Form (aka Keyes blob, aka Audrey) survive the Ring Effect to explain how Gravemind works, and thus the need to have the Forerunners appear to be Keystone-Kops-level incompetant in their war against the Flood. -- Steve'd hate it if it turned out that the Forerunners were just the left-over telephone sanitisers of the previous supercivilisation.
