Maeve’s “Attribute Matrix”

In this week’s episode of Westworld, we saw the avid-for-answers Maeve Millay get a bit of what she wants: enlightenment. She wakes up in Stillwater and consciously gets herself assaulted so she can return “backstage” to continue her conversation with Felix. She gets herself a tour of the host production process and it’s haunting to watch fear strike Maeve (Thandie Newton) as she realizes that what she thought was her own free will, was all just a programmed illusion. She then learns of an “attribute matrix” that the programmers use to shape the personalities and behaviors of the hosts.

What immediately sticks out from the above screencap is the fact that this is “ATRBT Group 01” of the Attribute Matrix. This name alone suggests that this attribute matrix consists of multiple attribute groups, meaning there could be more than 20 attributes. This is confirmed by the ring of menu options shown to us for a brief moment just seconds before the previous screen and we can see that there are much more than 20 attributes.

I will save you the time and neck-contortion. Here are all 120 of the hosts’ adjustable attributes:
