I don't really spend time looking into FNAF lore, so maybe I'm just missing the discussion, but I haven't seen anyone bring up something about Remnant that always seemed to me that it must be true. The animatronics might not have only had Remnant in them because of the child murders. I think it's possible that Remnant was part of their construction from the very beginning. There was always something about them that at first I thought just had to be ignored for the sake of the story and gameplay: their inexplicable AI. These animatronics have the ability to move around a dynamic environment full of kids running all over the place. This would be an immensely impressive feat today, let alone in the 1970's and 80's. When I heard about Remnant, the first thing that came to mind was that maybe their supposed AI had an explanation after all. Maybe Remnant was somehow used to make them capable of these things, even before the child murders happened. There are other reasons that I suspect this to be true, but for now I'm just throwing this out there.

Ooooh? Interesting. I don’t think this is the case tho it’s something i haven’t heard suggested. I think William and Henry were just waaay ahead of their time. Tho since my views on remnant have changed slightly since this video I will say that remnant is basically at the core of it is just intense emotional energies. Typically negative ones. Their sprits are a recollection of who they were before their deaths. The intense emotion bounded to the metal which in a sense the memory of who they were remained attached to this world. The animatronics move cause Henry was 1. A great engineer and 2. Cause their haunted, tho for example, if an robot designed to follow sound hears it they will follow it even if the spirit doesn’t want to. Their programming overrides the spirit at times. Simply it’s fnaf. Stuff happens now even if it doesn’t make complete sense 🤣

Maybe. But it seems to me that Remnant must contain or be capable of relaying more than just emotional energies. Whether we're talking about a ghost or a possessed object, the consciousness must have some way of processing sensory information about their surroundings and commanding their body to move, whatever form that body takes. If one could find a way to separate out the different parts of the signals being conducted through the Remnant, it ought to be possible to take advantage of these abilities in order to create a control system for the animatronics. That's a lot more believable to me than simply saying one or two guys managed to program an AI that thousands of people couldn't manage decades later. So in short, if it's possible for a spirit to use Remnant to possess an animatronic and bring it to life, why wouldn't it also be possible to deliberately use Remnant to create a pseudo-AI that does the same thing? I would suggest that this was done using older Remnant, from which the conscious spirit had already moved on, leaving behind just a derelict shell of what had once been there. Inactive Remnant, let's call it. So, some facsimile of the mental faculties might still have been available to use, but there's no spiritual energy left at this point (and there wouldn't be any until the animatronic is actually possessed). The energy would have to be provided from the animatronic itself, at first. I would think they'd do it this way if they could because they wouldn't want their animatronics to actually be possessed, and they could justify it as being more ethical. And another big part of what makes me think this is that the world of FNAF is a setting where Remnant exists. Ghosts exist. Possession happens, at least in some cases. And these would be known facts. There's no way they wouldn't be. Once the animatronics became possessed, someone (both among the people working with them and the police, regardless of how much the company tried to cover it up) would recognize the signs and realize that that was what had happened, because after all, possession would be a known thing. They would know that the animatronics are therefore dangerous and would have to be destroyed (at great cost to the company)... _Unless_ there was a good reason for people to believe that the animatronics were _not_ possessed -- to believe that they couldn't be. Possession would have to be something that doesn't just happen. The Remnant of a single person must not be enough to allow it. But based on what we know, it is reasonable to conclude that having more Remnant than normal in a single object (a body, or something else) makes it easier for the soul to remain attached, and would probably be necessary in order for a soul to attach itself to something that isn't a living body. Historically, this could, perhaps, have happened during a battle -- especially a battle fought in melee -- where you have a lot of people dying in close proximity to one another. So, in summation, people assumed that the animatronics could not be possessed when the dead kids' bodies were placed inside/next to them (in the case of the puppet) because they assumed there wouldn't be enough Remnant to allow possession. The designers might know better, or at least, they would be in a position to eventually figure it out. I have my suspicions that William Afton didn't come to realize that his daughter's spirit was inside Circus Baby until years later. But anyway, that's the gist of it. It just seems logical to me, and if this is true, it makes sense of several different things that had always seemed weird to me about the story.

@@Montegoraon that’s the thing right. Remnant is both emotion and memories. As you can’t have an emotion without experiencing something and you can’t have memories without emotion. You can have small amounts of remnant in something but a large amount of it is what’s makes up a spirit. It is memories of their past and who they are which in a sense creates a consciousness for the machines. Unfortunately in the universe most people don’t know about the hauntings however there are rumours about everything and fazbear played with that to make light of what happened by creating the indie games and to conceal that truth by making the vr game making fun of those indie games and it worked. They managed to gain public trust back somewhat. Some people do know about everything and some believe in the rumours but the majority of the public probably doesn’t buy into all that stuff. They just think it’s stupid stories (which is really dumb but whatever) Back to remnant, Afton probably didn’t know about possession at first but possibly came to learn and study it after Charlie’s death. The puppet never originally had tears and when she possessed it they formed. So Afton may have begun his studies that early in the timeline. Afton did use remnant for the Funtime animatronics. The remnant was the haunted metal of the original fnaf 1 crew. Their metals were melted down and injected into the funtimes and this gave him a form of control over them. He does this in the Fourth Closet novel. The remnant or molten metal of the classics were used for the funtimes in that book to give life to them and allowed automation of the robots. But why would the missing kids obey the orders of their killer? Well, how I interpret it this is that their memories were all mixed up and with spirits tendencies to forget they remember William as the friendly spring Bonnie who lured them into the safe room before he killed them. They thought he was their friend and when he would order them to capture another kid they thought they were gaining a new friend. They didn’t know he was kidnapping them like he did to them in the past. So saying that you could use remnant to give life to the animatronics and give them the capability to move and stuff is something that has already happened in the series in a way. Both in sister location and the novel trilogy. The original guys however were just robots built normally by Henry Emily. Yeah sure they could move and stuff but the robots being able to move around at night and the excuse that their servos lock up if they don’t move often enough in the first game is most likely a lie by fazbear cause they definitely know more than their letting on. With modern lore it’s very well possible that fazbear is experimenting with remnant using Afton’s tech and research as something’s hint towards something else going on.

@@Montegoraon also you can’t gain remnant from an object that is not or no longer haunted. Remnant is the “tangible with the intangible. Of memory with the present” the tangible in this instance is the metal and the intangible is the memories of the missing children. This mixes together not only because of the powerful emotions but also because the children were stuffed in the suits and that energy may have been attached to them. As afton says in the fourth closet. “The spirit follows the flesh… and also the pain” Think of remnant as a form of ectoplasm if you know what that is.
