''Yep, I finally understand it. RESET/SAVE/LOAD are technology as you said, no doubts about it. There might be some magic factors to the game, but this one isn't one of them. :) - I am calling RSL like that because there is nothing magical about it. Frisk is special though - I know and I am not gonna deny that. I only have strong doubts that they are a human. If DETERMINATION is the thing that gives Frisk power over RESET/SAVE/LOAD, the question would be why. - because why not? Anyways, using RSL is only an option, it is not obligatory. No one forces anyone to use it. the other humans couldn't SAVE/LOAD otherwise they wouldn't be trapped underground'' - exactly. Neither death nor fail can stop the one who can use RSL because it gives endless attempts to overcome any obstacles - save, try, die, load, repeat. Until it succeeds. Anyways, those humans are dead. Interesting fact is that when Frisk dies, their human Soul always brakes apart, so it has no use, it is gone. However, other Souls stay intact, so their owners must have died in very special way and it wasn't ordinary fight. Like Chara, who has died from poisoning, but their Soul stayed intact. Or did they succumb to their fates? - I would rather ask, what has led to situation where several children disappeared on some mountain and no one gives a damn about it? ''And if it's Frisk SOUL that is special, then is it because it's even more DETERMINATED than normal? Why is it DETERMINATION to begin with...? - Patience, Bravery, Integrity, Perseverance, Kindness, Justice - all of them are special, all of them are ways to deal with a problem or difficulty, all of them have some determination - I've done it. Using the blueprints, I've extracted it from the human SOULs.'' - ENTRY #5. And all of them have failed and fallen. Except Determination - ''And when I tried to load my save file... It didn't work. ... Your DETERMINATION! Somehow, it's even greater than mine!; The power to reshape the world... Purely by your own determination. The ability to play God! The ability to "SAVE." - Flowey, ...the strength to persist after death. The will to keep living... The resolve to change fate. Let's call this power... "Determination."'' - ENTRY #5. Yes, it is all about Determination, the neither good nor bad, pure, primal, unstoppable force that allows to do big things. ''Okay, I'll just stop. I think I'm getting out of topic here.'' - not really. Many things are actually connected to each other on many planes, like Soul->Determination->Save.
