Fellow Programs,
Since 'TRON' is definitely the greatest movie in the universe, many 'cosmic' questions are popping up in my micro-system. I bet Lisberger kept many issues in the movie "obscure" in order to let people think on their own, which is a noble effort. 'TRON' is mind-blowing!
I'm writing a sort of "logic threat" called "TRON: LIFE OF THE CONSCRIPTS", I think I'm gonna post it this friday, I'm looking about your argumentations.
In the while, there's a poignant question here. How did the "cities" in the MAIN FRAME/Electronic World/Inner World come to the "light"? How did they manage to "become" existent? The I/O TOWERS, the structures, the buildings, the sectors...
There are more unanswered questions in 'TRON', but while I'm still writing the piece 'LIFE', this one comes to mind.
 is program's best friend. Don't betray it --- NEVER!

I just figured it was manifestations of how memory is arranged within a computer and how that would be translated into visuals. I always figured that the inside of the computer was not REALLY there, meaning that you could not take a microscope and actually SEE the little people running around in there, but actually the world inside the computer was as you would perceive it given how memory was arranged within the system and what it's main purpose would be.
Programs would be human like in appearance, and blocks of memory would be in shapes and forms. Utility type programs, that actually do not interact with users, but have to serve as some kind of function would also take on a similar shape (i.e. light cycles, tanks, I/O towers, etc.)

Well I always envisioned it in thta way too. You know when you take apart a compute and you flip it over and you see the many layers that are on the back side. Where it to and from different soddered joints. Looking like large passageways for programs, Machines like the recognizers and the what ever else you can think of moving about in that computer. And even larger environment. A netowrk of computers linked up by wire or by wireless networking. Thats what I always envisioned of it. Coming from the PC all the way up to the large mainframe computers.
There was one thing that struck me while reading this and its kind of related to it. I remember seeing a video from Cray one of their videos that you can freely download from their web sites. And just seeing the circuitry inside these machines. Machines you really wonder what it is really like having from the mainframe all the way to the computers and PDA hooked up together. And what kind of city within the computer it is really like. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
P.S. I'll try and find the link on my home computer. Where you can down load the video from them. They have it available for both high speed and 56k modemds as well. In case someone is just interested in to in general.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! 
To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

ok, as I do, I have a thought...
What I fingured is the "buildings" came about when that specific program was installed...
for example: say you were installing...a new MS Paint program...when you finished installment, it would appear as a "studio" (or maybe, "Sketch's Studio") in the Digital World...
...once again, this is just a thought...
