What Does TRON: ARES’ Permanence Code Even Mean?

The response must be less than 5 sentences.

The permanence code in Tron: Ares is a line of code written by Kevin Flynn that allows digital creations to exist in the real world indefinitely, rather than "derez" after 29 minutes. Both ENCOM and Dillinger Systems sought this code to bring their virtual creations to reality for different purposes—military applications versus humanitarian advancements. While it grants digital beings physical existence, Flynn himself came to believe he misnamed it, as it also makes them mortal and susceptible to death, unlike their regenerating virtual counterparts. The article also clarifies that this permanence code does not retcon Quorra's unique existence in the real world from Tron: Legacy, as her permanence is due to her nature as an ISO, a self-generated digital lifeform with different "digital DNA."The "permanence code" in Tron: Ares is a line of code created by Kevin Flynn that enables digital beings to exist in the real world indefinitely, preventing them from "derezzing" after 29 minutes. Both ENCOM and Dillinger Systems sought this code for various real-world applications. Kevin Flynn, however, later realized he had misnamed it, suggesting it should be called the "impermanence code" because it makes digital beings mortal, allowing them to truly die. This concept does not conflict with Quorra's existence in Tron: Legacy, as her permanence stems from being an ISO, a unique, self-generated digital lifeform.
