Here’s the thing, we are the operators. We are also the Interlopers.
Being John Malkovich.
The boundaries are failing.

guys, i’m pretty sure the 365 dates that we need are actual memories, not just objective event dates. like, Klaxk’s memory submission being weak but YBM’s being stable is somewhat hinting to that. not to mention the mail, which does describe something similar. we probably need to submit “lived experiences” (if that makes sense), because we’re not just trying to recreate a machine or a system, apparently we’re trying to recreate a ghost in the machine

I just wish the counter would move, but hasn’t has it?

One thing that keeps nagging me still is WHY 365? Might be a red herring but I haven’t found any reasonable link to it yet. I guessed it had to do with the number of NMS patches, but that doesn’t seem to be right…
Is that being a year relevant at all or is it just a trap for obsessives like me lol

I wonder what would work, though? I don’t have any online presence, nothing for it to tether to that isn’t a general thing like an announcement trailer or an update. I have been a day-one player with plenty of memories in Atlas Rises especially, but none that could be backed up. Unless that’s what makes memories “weak”?

the memories aren’t yet verified. and maybe a stable memory isn’t exactly restored? the architect did put in the glitched image of the six hats, not a normal one

I don’t know for sure, but I think just appearing to express genuine emotional connection to the memory would be enough.

i don’t think it has to be backed up. it just has to be an experience worth remembering, i guess? i mean, thats what i can tell from YBM’s submisison
I wonder then how many memories will be needed…

WT didn’t run for a full year, did it?

I think at some point, when the players found each other and couldn’t see each other…
like the in game story…
another iteration. What datestamp do we have for when this happened? Like, did Sean post publicly in regards? Something with a full, usable time stamp?
I think 365 is the empty blocks.
But a much smaller amount is needed to “boot up”, it just might not be the wanted outcome.
there we go then, one experience per day
If thats the case though, surely we would have made some progress already.

maybe the dates have to align with the active phases of WT?
So we’re now up to four stable entries, including two we’ve added, and memory_bloc_restoration is still at 0/365. If putting Emily’s memories back into her doesn’t count as restoring her memories, I’m very curious as to what does.
Unless we aren’t putting these memories into Emily?
The only two other stable entries are from 2002 and 2005 and have nothing to do with WT and probably aren’t Emily’s, so most likely not everything on the site has to do with Emily’s memories. Same with the security logs, unless somehow Emily has been idling this entire time (might be possible, I wasn’t here for WT, but the gap in logs between her sacrifice in 2018 and starting up in 2026 makes that weird).
I think either we’re building a dataset about WT in part of the database (evidenced by WT memories being titled 2017_DATASET), and once we hit some threshold of completeness @the_architect will start putting only the relevant part of the database into Emily, so the counter won’t update until we hit that threshold and the restoration process starts…
Or the counter isn’t updating because we aren’t restoring memories. Because this thing never had Emily’s memories, so adding them isn’t “restoring” anything.
Tinfoil theory, memory_bloc_restoration is a misdirect. We’ve been thinking it refers to restoring Emily’s memories, but it’s actually something that needs Emily’s memories to restore its own.

While i agree we are helping @the_architect, I believe its a bit.. inadvertent.
The CSD was well renowned by the characters and factions of WT, and Atlas Foundation is a very public global megacorp. If these were past colleagues of ours, why act so shady about it?
We are eager to reunite with Emily, and it seems like Ghost and Architect want to use that to their advantage for an ulterior motive.
Maybe the progress status “0/365” isnt for us, its for Ghost and Architect. We need to wake emily up and get her back to full strength before they hit 365.
