** To make matters more depressing, the behavior of the caretakers can be interpreted as a digital equivalent of PTSD, as they seem to be in denial than anything is wrong with their ringworlds, and given that one of the destroyed ones is called "Central Processing", the possibility is that they're basically stuck in a processing loop without the processing power to overcome it, leaving them physically unable to work through the digital psychological trauma that the Contingency inflicted upon them, and its only the return of the Contingency that allows them to snap out of it, likely by getting them to realize that [[MyGreatestSecondChance they've got a second chance to set things right by destroying the Contingency once and for all]].
