De acordo com a romances Randall Frakes , a memória do T-1000 (e sua programação e seu 'DNA molecular') são armazenados em toda a sua estrutura:
It didn’t have a wafer-circuit brain to think with. It was something on a completely new level of artificial intelligence. The molecular brain acted like the rest of the thing, a liquid. And now it bubbled with possibilities.
All of them lethal.
The distant sound of approaching sirens reached its auditory sensors, which could have been formed anywhere on its body (since every molecule had the “genetic” blueprints for all needed parts programmed into them), but were now in the shape of human ears.
sobre qual era a programação principal das partes separadas ;
In the corridor, the T-1000’s head was lying in two mutilated masses on its shoulders. The concept of pain had never factored into the sensory sphere of the liquid machine. Pain was an indicator of damage to a part of the organism.
But this “organism” didn’t have parts, except on the molecular level. And its molecules were each primitive, miniaturized versions of the total machine. If any section were parted, the separated halves would revert to metal poly-alloy. The only default command it had in molecular memory was to find the main mass again and rejoin it. Each molecule had a range of fourteen kilometers. And the blasted apart sections of the T-1000 were much closer than that. So, after a moment of hesitation caused by ballistic shock, it rapidly reformed into a healthy human face, with absolutely no trace of “injury.”
