Talk:Dummy Plug Plant

This is very good. If I might suggest, you should explain more clearly what the physical description of the equipment looks like, i.e. you mention a "brain" in there without describing to the reader what this whole thing looks like. Also you say cables must run to Lilith in "Central Dogma", but Lilith is in Terminal Dogma. Btw, do you think "Dummy Plug Plant" is what we should officially call this? that is I've heart "Dummy Plug Production Facility" thrown around....I don't remember if it was called anything officially....ah what the heck if no one has issues, call it "Dummy Plug Plant". Anyway, you may want to clarify what "releasing the destrado" means (Rei stew...)--V 13:49, 28 January 2008 (PST)

While I don't think having material on the occult source of the DPP visuals is a bad idea, what Zuggy included is far too detailed and dense IMO. It ought to be distilled to the basics, and put in plain words. --Reichu 08:46, 5 May 2009 (PDT)

I think Zuggy's imagination was running away with him. Is this close to being unflagged yet? --thewayneiac 15:54 EDT. May 8, 2009.

Well...

A sound of deep breathing and a heartbeat can be heard in this room whenever Rei Ayanami is present in the central tube of LCL. These sounds are never heard when Rei is not present in the tube of LCL. The sound of the heartbeat and deep breathing may possibly be Lilith's; the brain in the metallic-casing may also be Lilith's. However, it is much more likely that the brain is just a component of the dummy system, and no more Lilith's brain than the "brain" in the Magi is Naoko's.[1]

I think a lot of this stuff is still pretty dubious. Do the sound effects really mean anything? Sometimes for ambient effect is just for ambient effect. The "Lilith's brain" bit is decidedly too much of a stretch to even warrant a mention, IMO. --Reichu 08:04, 10 May 2009 (PDT)

Possible explanation for the 'core' mechanism?

I know, this is meant to be another attempt. But since there is already speculation included in the article itself, i am going to give it at least a try. Apparently, a line from Ritsuko Akagi mentions that it is not completely possible to digitalize a (human) mind during the series' timeline. This is the axis of my hypothesis, but it still may be incorrect or information from lower tiers. If that is the case, please correct me. So, what if the Dummy System NERV utilizes is linked up with one of the Rei clones in the tank upon activation. Then a set of artifical thought patterns is input and the clones brain is used to execute them as if they are real thoughts, and thus, maneuvers the Evangelion unit while tricking it into believing that the pilot, who is then excluded, is issuing the orders. Like some kind of remote control. Therefore, if the Rei clones are destroyed, the Dummy System would be unable to link up to a body, and thus unable to operate. This could harmonize with NGE's approach to incorporate more 'realistic' technology, but ultimately remains speculation. Should we include that as possible explanation?
