Posts: 1,178 | what is the Grid anyway?
on Sunday, May, 01, 2011 10:16 PM
I was looking at a forum on a not-Tron board. It mentioned the things like weather, food,etc.... that we see on the Grid, things the ENCOM Grid didn't have. So I figured, well it's Flynn's little world so he can make it anything he wants. But when people ask, how can this be in a computer, it's not really, right? Like when Sam downloads whatever onto the chip he will now wear, the Grid could be there, right? I equated it to a record or CD: you listen to rock music, but its not like the band is on the record or CD. It's a facsimile of their music. So it is with the Grid. Nothing is in a computer. It's a construct on a chip, inside a computer, simulating a world of Flynn's creation, and as such, can be downloaded and transported to another computer, intact. Weather, buildings, transports, food, etc...is logical then, yes?
Funny how they made the original Tron look like the literal inside of a computer in some scenes.
Forget it, Mr High and Mighty Master Control. You aren't making me talk.

I think that's why some people are kind of annoyed with the T:L world as opposed to the original. You could believe the original was inside a computer. The new one...not so much.
I don't know, though. I mean, when you save something to disc, you're saving data. Even if I back up my hard drive, I'm saving files and programs, not the HD itself. So IMO, that'd be like packing up Tron and the Grid library in a U-Haul and moving them to a new Grid, but not actually the whole environment itself, just like you might move to a new town, but you're just moving you and your stuff; you're not moving your old town to a new location WITH you, y'know?
It does make more sense to me, though, that everything is a digital construct. I mean, otherwise, are programs really teeny little people trotting around in there? Then where do they live--hard drive, motherboard, processor? Or is each place different, just like we have different countries-- "Hey, I'm taking a road trip today on the ribbon cable highway to visit the sound card, who wants to go with? We'll play Bohemian Rhapsody"? Easier to think it's all just a digital simulation than a real, physical world with microscopic beings.
What do you want? I'm busy.
Program, please!
Chaos.... good news.

I think it's Flynn's little "virtual paradise" project he built on the inside of the computer, if that makes sense.
He's using the same tech to get inside, it's just that he has amassed the ability to edit it and build it any way he wants. He's developed a technique to making the grid the way we see it in T:L+ all the change that happened afterward that wasn't under his control.
I'm guessing the computer that houses the Grid is fairly empty other than Tron city and the Outland areas, which may explain why ENCOM's system looked so huge from the inside.

It's like a video game. The city in Grand Theft Auto doesn't really exist, only as a simulated reality written by a programmer and accessed by users through a computer chip.
