The Hoover Dam Server Site Explained in Westworld
Short Answer
The Hoover Dam server site is the physical location where the Sublime is stored after Dolores moves the hosts' digital world beyond Delos's reach.
Relationship Map
The dam site makes the Sublime vulnerable and concrete. Although the Sublime is a virtual world, it still depends on physical infrastructure that can be found, guarded, and threatened.
The site keeps Westworld from treating digital escape as pure magic. Even transcendence has a material cost and a location someone can fight over.
