: Think of the consequences if the pattern buffer stores the pattern of
: SpaceTime.

I did, and boi, that was scary.

: 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.

Mysterious ninja-raised scientists who Are Not Mentioned?

Or maybe it's not the whole universe but a bubble with fading away borders, hence the differences in levels :)

Or maybe the Space/Time gets divided each and everytime a patternbuffer is used.
Sawing a tree does remove only a slight part to divide a huge body.

: 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.

Pooh, thats the easy way out :)

: At least Bungie tried to explain the save game feature, which few other games
: have bothered to do.

Mmm, and levels?
