Actually thought of that. Was it mentioned in the article?
Can the Past be decoded in such a way? To me, it seems somehow inconsequential to the characters and the park’s situation that the dinos were a thing of the distant past – of course, very consequential in that there are these terrible predators hunting them down. Yes, it is brought up by the characters, especially in the dinner scene at the beginning. But shouldn’t the OS Concern of the Past be more closely related to the park itself, rather than the past of the entire planet? Dunno, to me, it feels too broad.
Then again, this could be a valid encoding of the Past and I’m just over thinking it.
