    I don't know if this has been mentioned but BF Skinner is mentioned on the Dharma Initive video and he had a theory about behaviour. There is a great explanation at

    http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/skinner.html

    I think the computer is fixed interval schedule reinforcement. The reward is
    the food that falls out of the sky at regular intervals
    . The flip side is that if the numbers aren't entered they will receive aversive stimulus. The exact form the stimulus will take is unknown.

    If this has already been mentioned sorry for wasting your time.

    Nice theory.

    Makes a lot of sense really.
