There is a big loophole

First, let me talk about the principle of the "source code" system: 1. The human brain can completely record the scene 8 minutes before death; 2. After the light is turned off, there is afterglow, and the brain can maintain a circuit for 8 minutes after death. This circuit is similar to a container. , Can be loaded into other memories, programmable, this is the source code area.

If you compare this area to a personal computer, you can only save certain specified information, and other information will be cleared when restarting. The corresponding film is that Sean can remember all the things that happened, while others did not continue. Memory. Of course, if the source code area is formatted, all the information will be cleared, and Sean will no longer exist, which is what the doctor asked Goodwin to do at the end of the film; 3. Install the 8-minute scene in Sean’s brain before he died. Enter the source code area of ​​Captain Kurt and keep restarting until the suspect is found. The biggest loophole in this film lies in point 3. Only Sean’s memory is loaded into the container. The film specifically mentions that Kurt and Sean have similar neurites and physical signs. They are the best candidates to restore the train scene. This also means that to make the characters in the scene come alive and have self-awareness, you cannot just copy the static data of the first 8 minutes, but need the data to match the physiological structure of the container in order to dynamically change with the scene. . However, just copying Sean's data, other objects, every passenger in the car, Christina, suspects...their data is missing, and the person data seen through Sean's perspective is far from enough. Existing information cannot dynamically reconstruct the personality characteristics and behavior characteristics of everyone on the train, which means that in the source code world, except for Sean, other people cannot respond as they should according to the changes in the status quo, so follow up There is no way to talk about the suspect. So, it's okay to load all the 8-minute data of everyone on the train into the source code area. Unfortunately, there is still no solution, because even if the brains of all the passengers in the car are not damaged, the suspect's data is still not available!
