In Response To: Re: Doesn't account for the world reset. (Andrew Nagy (mb))

To some degree, I'm put in mind of the infamous communicator pins on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Their behavior can is somewhat inconsistant: sometimes you have to tap them to activate or deactivate them, sometimes you don't; sometimes they know the identity of their user, sometimes they don't. While their broad function as communication devices is clear, the specifics of their operation where never thought out, and so they behave differently as particular pieces of plot require.
The pattern buffer seems similar; it's a plot contrivance that rationalizes a necessary function of the game to as great a degree as possible. Similar to the com bages, a lot of effort can be exerted to come up with incredably contrived theories to rationalize their operation, or we can just accept that, by necessity, what they do for us in practice is not precisely what they should be doing as far as their nature is concerned.
