Thank you! About damn time someone says this. It's either that or some clueless mofo writing some dumb stuff in a thread that should've been locked to anyone below a certain rank or something in the first place
I've been a silent reader on this forum for years, especially to see spoiler updates for every chapter. I enjoy reading during work breaks for entertainment, but I feel distracted by those posts. That's why I created an account to post this. I hope it makes the thread less cluttered and better.
They definitely do sync, but the context here was “regularly” which does not seem the case if York was able to hide her plans for as long as she did.
The person posting that only did it to help those who didn't know what to do.

Given that York probably spends most of her time sleeping, maybe she had exemption rules as to the frequency. Or she straight up just didn't sync, but I feel like that's really poor practice for the genius that is VP.
But is it namek time? (RIP toriyama

Stella is a surrogate body (if the spoilers are accurate)! Not sure if it's a clone body or whatnot, but if it's his whole head, and not just his brain in a jar (we all know translations on spoilers are tricky), then Stella can't be his original body.--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---
Either there's more to it, like a ruse or something arranged by all of the Vegapunk's, or we don't understand the whole sync process. Like maybe they just sync raw data and not memories or thought processes, or they can choose what they want to sync. If they synced absolutely everything then they would all be effectively the same person.
He's naive as fuck and clearly always went "science first, questions later". The syncing thing isn't that weird- all a Vegapunk would have to do is somehow make "exceptions" for syncing, which is a pretty simple conceit.
I think the WG will have a way to cause land to sink vs sea levels to rise. Like if all land all over the world is sinking into the earth similar to how legends have Atlantis sinking into the ocean. Like maybe the way the Red Line formed is by pulling up land from beneath and as it rises all other lands sink. This could be how they won the war in the past.
I've always been under the impression that they individually have control over what gets synced. Just would be weird to have memories of mundane/private things be shared across all of them e.g. going to the bathroom, taking a nap, etc. If they literally were a single mind split across 6 bodies they would be more like a hive mind or like puppets controlled by one mind (good example is Pain). I think the VP system is meant to be more like FMA where Father extracted pieces of himself out into the world as the Homunculi who all represent an aspect of him. I think each Satellite is a copy of a portion of VP (Stella) where each Satellite shares enough of the same base to be considered VP but some small % difference gives them each their unique personality. This then helps guide them as individuals with specialities as they research. They then sync back into Punk Records all the knowledge they gained with ability to hide stuff if they want but they all trust each other enough to just not do that. Hopefully Oda elaborates on this more so we can definitively know.
The satellites should most likely be fine. The punk records so far is an external data storage to them (satellites), they can reference information from it and equally add to it.
Vegapunk's dream should still also be possible even if the punk records was destroyed, but it'll draw them back a few years. They could develop alternative storage devices just for that if they really want, but it'll cost resources. I’d personally prefer that system to an actual brain that is organic.
Quite interesting take. I imagine achieving this on a global scale would take a while.
