I think Emet and the other Ascians were responsible for Living Memory. I think Preservation was their experiment group for finding a new way to recreate those they had lost. Emet had already told us they had no hesitation when it came to using our aether to restore their dead.

Once the system was perfected to their satisfaction, they would have removed the test subject memories of the Alexandrian people and replaced them with the memories of the Ancients that were sacrificed to Zodiark or lost in the Sundering. The memory crystals we found then passed onto Elidibus as he died (except for Azem's) may not have been the only ones in existence. The appearance of Living Memory would have changed to reflect Amaurot, Elpis and other places of the pre-Sundering world.
