- According to theories, the numbers refined by the MDR or Macro Data Refinement Department are the code for Kier Eagan's consciousness.
- It also suggests that Lumon is actively trying to revive Keir Eagan using this code.
- It seems like Lumon plans on reviving Kier as an AI or even as an actual person using cloning technology.
When it comes to science fiction, there is always a constant flow of content either in the form of a full-length movie or a show. However, released in 2022, Severance, became a show that has managed to make and keep an everlasting impression on everyone who watched it. This impression is evident by the hype surrounding Severance Season 2. Now, since season 1, people have had questions regarding the numbers Mark and his team refined at the MDR department, and based on a very interesting theory, we might have the answer to this very question. So, without any further delay, let me tell you what the numbers are that the Macro Data Refinement department or MDR refines in Severance.
The Numbers MDR Is Refining Might Be Kier Eagan’s Consciousness Data
Okay, so hear me out. Recently, I came across an insane theory about severance that makes a lot of sense. According to a theory posted by Redditor fillgates, Lumon’s ultimate goal is to revive Kier and the Eagan ancestors in either a human form or as an AI. According to this theory, before Kier died in 1939, he used some primitive methods to convert his consciousness into numbers and save them so that in the future he could be revived.
However, since this method was primitive, there is a lot of noise around the actual data and it needs to be refined so that it could be used. According to this theory, the numbers MDR or Macro Data Refinement Department refines in Severance are the code of Kier Eagan’s consciousness, which could be used to upload in a newly created body or on an AI.
Mark and his team are essentially the ‘Humans In The Loop” or HILM who are responsible for training this AI model. If you are wondering why these numbers are grouped into sets of four, we have seen in the show that Keir believed that all life forms on the earth are derived from Four Tempers. However, this is still just a theory that seems extremely plausible so to get the right answers, we will have to wait for Severance Season 2’s plot to be revealed on January 17, 2025. So stay tuned with us for further updates!
