If it's replicated anyway, it could be permanent. But except for consumable items like food, why bother making a perfect copy on an atomic scale when you just need it to feel/smell right? The holoemitters can do the rest.
So if you take a piece of wood off the holodeck, you suddenly find out it's hollow, doesn't look right, and the weight mostly came from the force fields. That'd be the most efficient way to run it, anyway. So the holodeck would just reclaim the item on exit.
Now, reasons why Wesley stayed wet:
1) Water is simple, and abundant. Why bother expending energy to break it back down / transport it?
2) It was evenly dispersed and very difficult to reclaim without taking some bodily fluids with it. Eww.
3) The Ent-D of the first season couldn't care less about resource conservation, and may not have implemented such protocols. The technology was supposedly fairly new, as well.
4) It's Wesley. I'm sure somebody had a reason to mess around with the computer system. |
