Remnant

**Remnant** this is a key object in the books.

### Description

A remnant is a special essence consisting of a fusion of human energy, emotions and memories. This essence is a kind of basic component of human consciousness, therefore it can be released only with a strong emotional outburst or death of a person. In sufficient quantities, the residue forms clots; clots of the remainder of one person are able to form a full-fledged copy of his personality, which is designated as a "soul" or "ghost". Any clot of remnant somehow contains information, therefore, when interacting with it, a person is able to sense some past events that caused its appearance.

Although any object can be possessed, completely different types of posession are shown at different points in the franchise. All of them obey a single principle and proceed from the peculiarities of merging the remainder with the thing:

* Any remnant creates a personality inside the object. This can be either a copy of a pre-existing personality, or a completely new one, for example, based on a prescribed AI animatronics (personalities appeared in the Funtime animatronics based on the behavior prescribed in them in advance). I.e., any possessed object has self-consciousness.

* If an object is possessed by a soul, then its behavior is a fusion of the actions of the object itself and the person who got into it (for example, Classical animatronics behaved like animals, which is inherent in their images, but at the same time they showed the peculiarities of the souls of children who possessed them).

* Damage or destruction of the object does not lead to the disappearance of the remnant in it.

* Merging several possessed objects together allows you to combine several souls or personalities in one "body".

The remnant appears with the help of a zero point field that brings memories and emotions to life.
