#of course I'm still up thinking about cataloguing bro who do you think i fucking am

Important question: how does the cataloguing and storage of all this memory work? This is an absolutely massive amount of data and metadata. A major crisis of Big Data these days is that it becomes literally impossible to parse it all. Given the vibes, I'd imagine that this data was monitored coming in for any subversive content or useful intel, but otherwise, did they actually have the capacity to use that data, or was it merely stored in the same way that data is stored now—with a foolish belief that it will become useful before it degrades in technology or meaning? Was it organized in any meaningful way, and what does that recall look like? And if it wasn't, or if it was done in such an esoteric manner (or the context was simply lost to time) that it cannot be properly utilized now, does Ludinus actually know what he's showing them, or is he relying on the grandeur of a past that can never truly speak for itself to dazzle them to his side? And have these memories truly been preserved, or have they been subject to the erosion of time that has subsumed so much of the physical city itself?
