Here's a thought. Are these boards being used to train some sort of AI or otherwise large scale computing project?

Would it make sense for Q & Co to harvest stale breads to search out for the specific intended meanings of the crumbs, and once this vector of investigation became a matter of public record, direct the autism in that direction?

Could the purpose of the crumbs be not only to enlighten us, but to train an AI who already has all the data on what aspects of what it knows are a matter of public domain, and then that AI processes what the public could know in order to generate further clues?

Doesn't really change our role in this, I don't think. But interesting thought that struck me.
