And of course if any and/or all of what i hypothesized above were on some sort of brainless grid driven only by names a machine gave people (like a lottery), wouldn't you want that turned off? The entire concept would mean that "the system" wasn't driving humanity to any evolutionary destination or "higher purpose" other than tracking and patterning to whatever was at a baseline.

And/or if all of this were played out on one person and/or family and/or group of people it would really be slavery and torture and a human rights violation in a similar category as testing war weaponry on a population.
And likenesses (pictures). Please cross reference pictures. I have personally witnessed things that hint at the possibility of technology prompting humans to breed with other humans to have offspring that look like humans who have had pictures taken of them in the past!
Not really hint but i do not have direct access to all of the photographic records of the Earth and the supercomputing systems that would be required to perform this analysis and see if the outcome shows statistical proof (empirical, you know).
