So Hard Mode is the Truest Reset.

Normal Reset : Returns to the beginning of the Beta Timeline. Some faint memories are retained, and Chara cannot be renamed. Flowey remembers everything.

True Reset : Returns to the beginning of the Beta Timeline. Everything goes, even the memory of the previously-remembering Flowey- wait a minute.

Wait one minute.

We can wipe Flowey's memory.

I feel like this might affect your "human SOULs remember timelines" theory. But, I don't have any conclusions there for now. So, moving on...

Hard Mode: Returns to the beginning of the Alpha Timeline. Gaster is alive and uncorrupted, and Sans as we know him does not exist. We are still in control, but by playing Hard Mode we rewrite canon- such that most endings would not lead to Sans being around in Normal Mode.

Is that what you're saying?
