So do the young people before a reset become the old people after a reset?(SPOILERS)

Assume that paradigm has and will continue reset over and over again, dozens, possibly hundreds of times. In each reset, perhaps the memorys of the young people are erased,
and they live on into the next cycle as the old folks. Do you really hear anyone in the series talk about their parents, except for Alex, who we know is just a clone of his father and not a blood relation anyways?

Perhaps the Alex of one cycle is the Gorden of the next?

Perhaps Big Venus doesnt always do a complete world erase, but leaves most of the city,
with the previously minor damage from the Megadeus battles as it is for the mind-wiped next cycle occupants. Perhaps the devestation was so complete at the end of Episode 26
that is finaly had to wipe the whole thing and start over?

Maybe there were no old people in the first cycle?

Just ideas Im throwing out there. Im still sticking somewhat to my Perfect Drama Theory.

I doubt very much that Alex is a clone of Gordon. The flashbacks in "R.D." showed Gordon with a blood-spattered white coat and a group of children, implying something surgical.

Anyway, there's no reason why a clone should share memories with a fellow clone. Identical twins are clones of each other, for instance, and they don't automatically read each other's minds. So cloning people isn't a way of preserving memories anyway.

And, in R.D., no one remarked on how the dead young people looked just like younger versions of the dead senators from "Winter Night Phantom." You'd think they would. Dastun would have flipped through the files of the dead senators and seen pictures of them at a younger age, just as he did with Angel in later episodes.

I've always figured that you learn more about a system by its imperfections than from the stuff that works well. The amnesia in Paradigm is very crude. I think that means that Big Venus doesn't have the power to implant a complete set of false memories in every individual. Angel's flashbacks imply that even when she took the time to implant false memories in herself, it was just a few memories, not a complete set.

If so, the amnesia is used to hide other changes. Such as the world being reset from time to time and physically changing each time.

Because the Resets violate cause and effect, any evidence from before the most recent Reset may be bogus; it may not have been there before. On the other hand, if the mechanism of creating new Paradigms is not perfect, it may leave a trail of evidence behind that allows the past to be analyzed.

There are several sets of anomalies that we've seen already. The Underground is one; it doesn't seem to fit at all. The superstructure above the city is another. It seems decayed and abandoned and unnecessary, just like the gears Roger saw in Act 26. It's as if Paradigm has a lot of junk lying around from previous cycles that has just been abandoned.

These bits of sloppiness give us clues about how Paradigm works, and what the limitations of the process are. But if there have been many, many resets (and I agree that there probably have been), finding out how things started may be very difficult.
