Are there any fan theories of what the work is they’re doing?

My bet is on lumen “renting” part of their subconscious to train a computer, while their conscious minds see a sort of projection of the training, and the act of selecting the numbers has a mirror effect on the part of the brain they’re renting, affecting the model training. But that may be a little too “current events” focused, and the writers may have something totally different in mind.

This seems like the most interesting way to go - “last time I saw her she was alive” really was a choice of words.

The whole concept of the show is artificial amnesia, so what if the concept is induced amnesia to solve for it?
