: You must have no idea how much storage capacity it requires(estimated) to
: store a human's quantum wavefront do you? 6 X 10^23 bytes...I doubt
: marathon had that much storage capacity...just for ONE person. OR AI.

Get that number from 3001? :-)

"I feel compelled to share with you that Durandal has left the ship. I can find him nowhere on our network, and traffic logs over the last half hour show sixty-four billion exobytes transferred off of and deleted from the Marathon."

That's 6.4 X 10^28 bytes, or enough (given your above figure) for a hundred thousand people.

The manual does say that the intended purpose of the pattern buffer (regardless of how the Marine may exploit it for his temporal shenanigans) is to store the entire pattern of a human.
