Interesting theory - and kind of sinister - instead of Silk conquering Pas
in Mainframe, Pas is secretly still around pulling all the strings.

But the Narrator can't be a complete reboot back to the Silk-23 back-up
data, because he still knows and is trying to avoid facing the fact that
Hyacinth is dead.

"I could not look upon Hyacinth, dead." - isn't that a line from a famous
poem (with someone else's name in for Hyacinth)?
