Maybe they were trying to connect it with human memories, since the 
programs within the TRON universe had a life of their own?  

With all of thie TRON talk, I just happened to have watched TRON 
again on Friday, then WarGames.  On Saturday I watched Terminator 3.  
All three movies seem to have similar storylines... 

The first two movies have a mainframe as the big bad computer while 
the third uses that idea as a red herring.

Cheers,

Bryan
