Does anyone out there actually *know* how the computer operates?

In a past life I wrote programs to support data collection on scientific satellites. When you reset a CPU, it goes to a particular location that tells it what routine to execute on start up. If you blank out this location, as could happen--this is just a guess--when you "clear the KAM (Keep Alive Memory)", then the CPU executes the default program. The default program should be "relearn all parameters." But once it has done this, it should not need to be done again (but maybe parameters still need to be fine-tuned).

Without more info on how it operates, I don?t think we can conclude that, "If the computer is a learning unit, then it should be continually learning." It may do the bulk of its learning only after being reset, with fine-tuning afterwards. But if the proper relearn routine isn?t run after reset, it?s fine-tuning parameters that were never broad-tuned. Of course, it may revert to defaults that are not unreasonable...

Again, these are guesses. Any facts out there?
