no offense mooshie...but adding real science to theory is only gonna create a problem...real science...and this theory for Franz Hopper will clash..
so is Zero Point Space the base of the theory, and everything works from there, or is it just one point where things surround it?

it seems like most of this theory is based off of the zero point space...and I was asking if this was the case, or if I missed something...

One thought I have is that the monsters are programs, but XANA didn't lay down the programs which they are based on and which grants them vulnerability.
I think Franz designed the two monsters which probably came first - the Mantas and Creepers, and then XANA began making his own, building on the same software.
BTW: Chupathing42 suugested that XANA created Gravitons in Zero-Gravity-Zone and used those to offset gravity. Since this lines up with what I just wrote about ZPS I think he's a bloody genius! Anyone object to making him a Lyokologist?
Not really, just might be an idea to avoid explaining EVERYTHING away as being done by "somethingons". Gravitons and Lyokons are probably enough!
But yeah, Anoint him!

..xD;; Here comes Whydeevee with his crazy software notions...
Yeah. I actually thought that monsters were some sort of system application. Like, perhaps Franz intended for them to be used as some kind of messanger system or 'field worker.' You know how occasionally you can see through the monsters' eyes? Perhaps that was meant for seeing things in different sectors or something. Before the vehicles it was a lot of work to traverse Lyoko and maybe he didn't want to do everything himself (this is assuming the idea was conceived after he decided to actually -go- to Lyoko, since everything can be observed from the outside at the console.) Also, wouldn't they be a part of XANA's Mutliple-Agent-System? His 'eyes and ears' on Lyoko? I'm not sure. But they probably have some type of low-level AI.
I think I agree that the Mantas and the Creepers came first... if he planned on having a petting zoo for Aelita though I'm not sure what he was thinking xD;;

OK... I guess if all objects are required to have LP, then the monsters could be programs... but does everything have 100 LP, or is it calculated based on some other factors?
The problem with a game engine analogy is that in game engines, it is up to the monster designer to balance the game... in other words, a video game could have a monster with HP, defense, attack, and speed all set to 999,999,999, but that isn't done because such an enemy would make the game extremely unfun. Naturally, XANA doesn't want Lyoko to be fun, so what keeps him from creating, say, a 1000 LP Hornet with a 100 LP laser?
For that matter, why exactly do lifepoints exist? I doubt Lyoko would be programed to damage data just because of a collision event... unless perhaps such collision events allow XANA to briefly access and damage the avatar data himself?
If that were the case, then the Scyphozoa's memory drain would simply be a more refined version, and attacking towers would eventually allow for their shutdown.
Now that I think about it, because it is a Quantnum computer, any interacting data could influence each other, so weapon shots may be designed to disrupt data... and could maybe be designed to target a specific piece of data, as in the Marabounta virus.
Did I just answer my question?

Possibly xD;; Yes, I've always thought that attacks were meant to damage the avatar file, and once it reached a certain point (Life Points reaching zero), the person is devirtualized before it can sustain sufficient fragmentation. So basically LP's are designed to keep avatar files intact (if they were seriously damaged, it could cause detrimental effects.)
BEHHHH
by Rail Runner » Tue Aug 08, 2006 8:58 pm
well...that makes sense...because everytime they are hit, the avatars show the LP loss...and the monsters..they must have less than 100 points, either that, or the groups lasers are a 100 point hit to the enemies...what do you think?

When I said Game engine, it was the best thing I could use to explain how lyoko works on a code level, and while it's probably note the best, it is the best think I can think of that easily explains it. However, you are right; it is not a game engine. Now you brought up balancing and the question of why life points would even exist in the first place.
For balancing, I think that it is taken care of by the computer, which also probable sets the different life points for different things, biased on its attributes and different stats. We've also seen Xana bend if not break the balancing in things like possibly the Tarantula (an uber powerful monster compared to the) and defiantly the kids "super" weapons that he make as a trick (probably done by writing a work around of the default weapon code or by having access to a deferent part of the system, or by the fact he may have been using Franz’s mind at that point and could, with in limits, do anything he needed)
As to why life points exist, I think it's simply a safety measure. We've seen just how dangerous Lyoko can be on its own even with out XANA and we've seen that when the system (scanners and such) is shut down it can easily be fatal. Now the life points might not actually be something added to it but kind of one of those things that developed through requirement of the way lyoko works. Franz wanted Lyoko to be a fairly realistic world, as real as he could make it, and a real world and all of its objects have durability and with enough damage will wear out and be destroyed. Now granted on lyoko it's not like earth where everything does wear out, but we've seen the terrain of lyoko can be altered by objects, why shouldn't the objects also be able to be altered by each other (AKA destroyed by a laser)
As to the weapons disrupting data and all that... I don't think so normally. I think they are meant just as they look, to cause damage to what it hits. Yes, a virus was uploaded in to the arrow, but I think that was special. The reason I stand by this is very simple, if the weapon is made for specific data, then why:
Jeremie also probably (almost certainly) doesn’t have access to the monsters code and as such can't come up with a virus to combat them directly as well.
I hope this explains what I'm thinking
PS. When I made the game engine analogy, If I sounded like (or even said) that it was a game engine, please understand I didn't mean that it IS a super game engine, just that SOME of the thinks behind the process (like the classes) could be related to on... sorry about the confusion.

I'm sorry, I wasn't too clear on that point...
You're right, Jeremy almost certainly can't access the monsters' code; I think the weapon shots are just generic disruptors- they scramble whatever data they are lucky enough to come in contact with, regardless of its type. Eye hits are likely fatal because they represent the critical data linking the monster to XANA/its AI/whatever controls it; the other data can be repaired or is redundant.
However, since Jeremy did have the code to the Marabounta, he could create a much more specific disruptor that would rewrite the replication code into self-destruct code- in other words, it's like the difference between deleting random files and replacing the OS with a formating program.
Even if Jeremie did get the code to a monster, any virus would only work once- XANA could just reshuffle the code, moving the weak spot to an unknown position.
Is that clearer?

Think about how re-materialization of the object's atoms would act- if it merely stored the atoms at the time of virtualization, then when you were re-materialized, your heart, brain, and all energy would be lost. Thus the energy of your body would have to be saved and restored somehow.
That's were lovely Quantum comes in - on the Quantum scale, matter and energy are made of the same material, so any energy would be picked up and encoded, and subsequently reconstructed with the body.
PS: Matter/Energy duality is another take really on Particle/Wave duality - i.e. it can be proven that an electron is a wave, and it can also be proven that an electron is a particle? How can this work?
Quantum, that's how.
Always Quantum!
o_o COOL. So, in order to calculate mass AND energy, you would need to have two numbers. Usually two numbers are shown on a plane. Does this mean that Quantum is 2-dimensional?

and of course, it may not nescesarilly be the first two dimensions, maybe the 9th and 10th, or something of that sort

No, because think about it. Let's say the mass is 5 and energy is 3 or something. Add them together and you get 5+3=8. So the quantum's number is 8. Whoopee, guess what, there are INFINITE COMBINATIONS OF NUMBERS THAT EQUAL 8!!! 4+4, -3+11, 1000000+ -999992, they all make 8!!! Therefore it must have at least two parts to it.
