Question About the Host “Blueprints”

Published November 16, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey y’all!

I have a question about the host “blueprints” Teresa found in the secret room of Ford’s cabin. It looks like there’s a plan for Dolores, one for young Ford, and one for Bernard. Wouldn’t these be Arnold’s drawings? We’ve been told Arnold created Dolores and the hosts in Ford’s family, so it seems these plans would be Arnold’s, not Ford’s… BUT that would lead one to wonder why a plan for Bernard is included. Did Arnold create Bernard? Or, if you believe the Berarnold theory… Perhaps Arnold created a copy of himself which he used to fake his own death, tricking Ford in the process. (The Bernard we know may be an Arnold copy later created by Ford.)

Ford seems to be coming to the realization that Arnold is still at work in some way – asking Dolores about the timing of her last conversation with Arnold, the young boy explaining that it was Arnold who ordered him to kill his dog, the mysteriously growing appearance of the maze symbol found in Arnold’s notebook. Perhaps these plans are yet another piece of the puzzle for Ford.

If Arnold did, in fact, fake his own death, and the Bernarnold theory is correct, then Arnold could be wandering the park/facilities posing as Bernard. He could be having conversations with hosts & employees without raising alarm (maybe even with a kidnapped Elsie?).

It would seem that Ford would recognize whether or not the person he is talking to is AI… unless Arnold was the first host created by Ford as a companion to build the park. And also the first to reach sentience. Meaning a host actually created a copy of himself. Ok… I think I’ve gone too far. But I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts on who created these host blueprints & why Bernarnold’s plan is included.

Thanks!!
