I had a tiny bit of interest in this in another post, and was suggested I create a post to encourage more discussion.
Do we assume that the reseting of Exo minds occurred during the Golden Age when we had the means to do so? I can only imagine that the technology required to reset an Exo mind was lost during the Collapse, so if we go by the amount of resets we can maybe get further into the past?
So from what I can see, Lakshmi-2 has had the least amount of resets, and not being a guardian means she has memory going back to the Collapse, and possibly even further? Possibly what makes the Exo Stranger so special is she has never been reset and has memories dating back to the Golden Age?
Have we ever paid attention to these individual characters ramblings in the tower to see if there is any relevance going back to the Golden Age/Collapse.
Or do we think Exo's just have a reset switch in the back of their heads (as in we can still reset now)?

I suppose we may be able to treat wipes if we equate Exos to smart ai. Remember that both Exos and a smart ai have a limited operational life span. In this case, smart ai become rampant and a threat, and have to be taken offline. I doubt one would be far off to draw the conclusion that a memory wipe prevents the same fate for Exos.
