I'm not seeing how that fits.. Could you go into more detail?

The idea of using being brought "back" (the zombie statement). Engrams allow the encoding of any complex pattern of matter, right? It wouldn't be any more sophisticated to create, and later, decode an Engram of a specific person. It's just in response to the idea that somehow Guardians were [i]dead[/i], a kind of divine action. When a simpler, less sinister explanation already exists: the Engram.

I think you might be on to something. I actually thought Guardians might be software simulations, maybe the whole universe, which is how ghosts respawn us, but I like the engram idea better

While that's actually a really interesting concept, we are, in fact, reanimated dead people. when our ghost brings us back, they say "you've been dead for a long time"...plus there are multiple Grimoire entries that support guardians being "resurrected" dead...

Edited by Crummy Ninja: 3/2/2015 4:15:07 PMUh huh. Because the grimoire is a study in transparency. We also use "magic" and fight "gods" which are neither. So the term "resurrected" carries similar weight. "Any sufficiently advanced technology will appear as magic".

Not even sure how to reply to this... I'm talking about resurrection, in terms of it's actual dictionary meaning, which is "the act of rising from the dead"
