( There is a MASSIVE conflict between the memories that Gideon knows are real (the time on the Waverider, the years with Rip and then her crew) and the new memories of her time as a human. It isn't just those few days that Gideon remembers but the years of her life. Childhood, growing up, and they're not compartmentalised but jumbled all together. She's trying to section them off, and if she were still her old self it may be simpler, but there's an overwhelming sense of nostalgia alongside the real emotions that that human felt. Emotions deeper than her own, and she's not equipped for it )
it's chaotic. any patterns people talk about are just the natural habit of a creature looking to apply meaning to something. the only real pattern is the chaos.
the only real trend is the events and memory erasing. it's entirely possible that none of this is real at all. maybe nobody ever goes home.
it's the idea that since we can't disprove it, our entire reality could just be a simulation. there's no real way to tell we're not all brains in jars. or i guess mainframes in jars, maybe, haha
that's ok-- tbh that's kind of the point. it's more about keeping in mind what reality means to you, based on your experiences. i'm as real as i need to be. cogito ergo sum

How well do you believe the theory?
no subject
it's not really about what i believe. it's more about keeping in mind that we don't know so much more than we know, to me.

How real are these other lives? Are they possibilities or simply fabrications?
( she asks because she doesn't know. she has nothing to judge it against, no similar experience or other point of reference )
