However, the computer that answered "why are we?" is still a mystery. Maybe it is a physical/technological manifestation of Shiva?
Do tell me, who was it that ask that question to the computer? We know a group of "They" ask the question...but who is They?
They were the remaining living failed child of the Submachine before the Player came in.
Here is a perfect example that follows that logic. I never read the original Author C. Clark Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. But I have seen the movies. The recent new ones, and the British Adaption that came before the movie.
And I do work at the library So I found a copy of "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". To which the ultimate question did match the one from the British adaptation of the book series.
The Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything was "42" to which deep thought said it was the answer, but you never ask me the question. To which she then said she created a computer to calculate the the ultimate Question, Which was actually Earth.
Now...the ultimate Question was "What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?".
I figure out the joke behind Arthur C. Clark Logic.
7x7 = 49
7x6 = 42
6x9 = 54.
If life was perfect, the answer would have been 49, not 42.
They ask "Why are we?"
It vague but it match who "They" are. They were the failed Children of the Submachine who still happened to live, so they got to together to figure out why "They" were even conceive in the first place.
And the computer did answer the question, we just don't know what the answer was. Probable cause they either didn't fully understand it, or they debated about the answer for the rest of their lives.
