I think the time travel thjeory of pattern buffers represents an impossible attempt to explain the simple "save game feature" in a computer game. I know we marathon fans must always try to assume a coherent story line, but i fear we may be streching on this one. Think of the consequences if the pattern buffer stores the pattern of SpaceTime. It would have to store the exact position, momentum, energy, angle of momentum, of every subatomic particle in the universe, because cause and effect is a system with sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Even the slightest variation in the position of one electron could quickly expand into a vastly different timeline. Considering the fact that storing all this information would be a daunting task, even for a piece of Jjaro machinery, i don't think it would be plausible to think that the UEG could have constructed such a system, even with the aid of Jjaro technology. As much as i hate to admit it, i think this is one idiosyncrasy in the Marathon universe which we are going to have to dismiss. Even if Bungie had prevented monster resurrection in an attempt to make the story more coherent, that would have been to easy for the player. Think of how much easier it would have been just to incorporate a standard save game feature. At least Bungie tried to explain the save game feature, which few other games have bothered to do. | |
