“Ah, I was unclear.” Senku acknowledged with a bit of a hum. “Some of those things we do actually know to some extent, but mostly I was trying to establish that even if the train has moved past storing its data like a computer would, as in it is a fully sentient being with no electrical component, there would still be evidence worth looking for. How the train works is not actually the goal here, nor does the train seem inclined to share that information.”
It also dawned on him that they might not follow this so he paused and revised his thoughts for a moment. “With programs, even those that evolve on their own, their memories would be stored like I just described.” He gestured at Elidibus. “A memory to a program would be written in a code like that, not unlike how our memories are written in the pathways in our brains. The train’s brain is likely a computer. I don’t think it could get around that.”
“Human memories and computer code work differently. While humans might forget something, given enough time or a lack of importance, like say what you had for breakfast last week – a computer would not. Not on its own. So the idea here would be either the train can’t access that information, and there might be information why that is or it’s been removed. Deleted.” Senku explained.
“On the programming side of things, we’d be looking for that. Is there some reason the information is inaccessible, or is it simply missing? If it is missing, did they leave any tracks behind? Who deleted it, when was it deleted and can it be recovered?” He offered the questions. “The scope of this and the train’s agreement is likely meant to be narrow. I don’t think the train wants us rooting around in everything. Along with the memories themselves, the train also doesn’t seem to be sure where its previous crew is. Are there logs to the effect of where the train was through its navigation systems? That, I think, should probably be the goal here, but if there’s more I’m not thinking of, we should discuss it.”
