I suggest thinking of it as a distributed computer, rather than one mainframe.

All of the subprocessors located near the other components could survive, and collectively make decisions at a greatly reduced speed.

Valid point. So, while we're forced to submit to realisim ... when this ship with a bLasted master computer arrives home for repair ... all of it's experience is lost, right? No, not the way it works.
