Quite possibly my most advanced bot yet...

The Grid is a vast part of the Tron system, programmed by Kevin Flynn. Often referred to by Flynn as his "digital frontier", the Grid was made to provide an experimental platform where all forms of research could be carried out at unparalleled speeds. Perceived time on the Grid is measured in cycles and runs at a pace far greater than time perceived in the real world, thus allowing anyone immersed in the computer environment to perform the same functions in a fraction of the time it would take them otherwise, as hours on the Grid are just minutes in the real world. Much of the Grid consists of a flat, dark platform with glowing blue, cyan, or white ribbons of light covering it in a vast latticework. Within the Grid itself lie a number of cities, the most populous being Tron City, a metropolis modeled on a real world city which hosts a diverse range of programs. The programs carry out all the day-to-day tasks involved in running the system. On the periphery of the Grid lies the Outlands, an inhospitable region where most programs could not venture without flying or using specially coded ground vehicles. The Grid's original population consisted of programs written or installed by Kevin Flynn. Despite their programming, programs were autonomous to a large extent, living daily lives similar to that of a User in the outside world, clubbing, socializing, resting, playing games, and maintaining hobbies outside the primary directives that dictated their day jobs.

After the emergence of the ISOs from the Sea of Simulation, these unique, directive-free programs settled on the Grid as well. While they mingled with User-written programs at first, they eventually withdrew to colonies of their own, remaining there until the Purge. Both the User-written programs -- known then as Basics -- and the ISOs had factions of political and social thought jockeying for influence on the Grid. After the Purge, sympathetic programs attempted to convey surviving ISOs to safety until there seemed to be none left on the Grid, and factions quarreled for scraps of power in the heavily militarized system.
