Why would sleeper "drones" need Neurovisual input like we do if they were simply machines? Why not process the data directly?

Originally by: Alain Kinsella Perhaps because the drones aren't actually drones? Maybe they're what the 'Sleeper' race has placed themselves (or some of them anyway) into.
That would make the collection of tags and certain datacores useful for the empires. If those contain the memory of particular Sleeper (or even Talocan!) members, do you think the empires (or Jove for that matter) really want that in our hands?
I admit this is a bit far-fetched, but does sort of fit with the rest of the discussion here.

Perhaps, but couple that with some of the other artifacts and salvage that stand out (the temporal calculation whatchamajig and the super-fluid-router thingy), I wonder if the drones are just that - drones - but they transmit what they "see" and what they do somewhere and/or somewhen (still doesn't explain why the neurovisual data has to be processed locally). If they were controlled by someone/thing, I don't think there would be need for all of the emergent intelligence and analysis equipment. That tells me that the sleepers are, in fact, autonomous and close to artificial intelligence.
Rambling here, but why neuro-visual and not straight-up spacial data? Anybody ever find any sort of biological remains?
Perhaps the sleepers move in a virtual construct of the mythical Terra and play virtual virtual spaceship games which manifest in the drones. And maybe I need to take a break.

Originally by: Nishachara Why does ancient sleeper databanks drop things like "caldari hybrid tech decryptor" and such ? I mean its convenient for T3 industrialists, but to me it would be more logical that empires sell decryptors for their tech or something.
I think that its clear from some of the recent things I've read that though the current increase in wormhole phenomenon have allowed general capsuleer access to Anoikis, it is not the first time people from New Eden have visited the place.
