I just realize something

[none]

people talking about the ending and the story of LoR makes me realize something. is it possible that... beside roland, all other librarian including geburah and binah are actually not real and just a result of her EGO (library of ruina) simulation power? what i mean is basically all of them is actually just a very advanced puppet inserted with memory up to the last moment they live which then angela "revived" through her simulation power so that it could give the illusion that they are actually alive again.

if you remember about red mist's fight, the red mist has memory about her life up to the part where she is in the lab group and she still feels like alive and well. i can't really put it into word but what i tried to say is that the reason why geburah is weakened, why binah is degraded, and why the other patron librarian cannot grow to achieve EGO form or distortion is that they are actually not alive and just a part of library's power (the one that can create everything as long as the library has information of them). binah is degraded because the library doesn't have full information about arbiter and geburah is weakened because the library can't simulate her ability to the fullest.

tldr: all librarian beside roland actually dead and the one beside angela is actually just a simulation made with library's power

well, that's my theory. what do you think? am i missing some lore that make this actually obvious? i'm really bad at following story lol.

This is frequently touched upon almost every time you awaken a Patreon Librarian I believe. How they mention they're not the same person as before and such, plenty of little nuances that dilude to such a possibility that they are simply 'husks' filled with others memories. The mechanic of revisiting receptions is strangely portrayed like this as well.

There's a lot of age old discussion on various aspects of these kinds of things, I highly recommend studying into such subjects, like Sociology, Psychology and Neurology if one is interested.

Silver do you have any particular Neurology books or articles touching the topic? I can potentially see the idea of having a body that is just given memories wouldn't have the same neural pathways or muscle memory.

Geburah even regularly mentions that her body feels slow and different, which is probably because Kali / Geb's bodies were both trained to the peak of fitness and had muscle memory fit for fighting. So switching with all their knowledge into a body which has no experience would feel really jarring.

Socially I'm sure everyone would react oddly in such a community where they're eating and drinking food which is all created from 'memories' or 'light' but even then that food would probably taste the exact same every single time.

U can say that. Librarians r created with the library's power. To the best of it. And then after the creation, they become a living being of their own. This game touches the subject of Human creating AIs through their intent and best of knowledge; however the AIs would then goes off and become their own. Something that the creators didn't intend it to be. Such as the example of Angela herself, that is mentioned in LOR and is explored in LC.
