Hello, Jumblr, in honor of Pesach, please have my favorite picture of one of my cats.

His name is Matzah Ball.

So this is Calvinism, I feel like I've been mislead over the decades.

My hobby: Interpreting Meaningless Technobabble

in the most ridiculous way possible that still feels like it has enough Connections to make some kind of sense

So in TRON (1982), just before Tron finds Yori, we see her at work on the Solar Sailer dock. The guard supervising her asks, "what's the progress on the simulation?" Yori reports: "30, 56, 99 are correct. Limited 4 and 8 are missing."

but what do those numbers mean for her simulation?

well.

30, 56, and 99 are very correct...

for making a lovely shade of blue.

As for four and eight?

Well, they are very limited, and somewhat missing... because they represent the amount of red in that color.

So... if you wanted to read meaning into this entirely arbitrary bit of scripted nonsense?

And if you wanted that meaning to reflect how TRON (1982) adheres to the same "Blue=Good, Red=Evil" theme as Star Wars, Deep Space 9 Season 5, current United States politics, and a variety of other fandoms?

well.

Yori is indicating that Blue is correct, and Blue will win.

because every time Red gets more "limited" and more "missing," Blue takes over just a little bit more.

And maybe, just maybe?

she's using her Simulation Skills to influence the color scheme of her workplace... just a little bit at a time... to reflect the growing power of the Blue resistance.

Yori's a prisoner of the MCP, being forced to do work outside her purpose. And they clearly have a lot of control over her. There's not so much she can do to help, materially.

But at least, she can occasionally... "hex" them.
