Let’s see what I can remember from my semi-religious Jewish upbringing. (I have no idea how to spell the pronunciations of half of these in English, but…)

Aleph, bet/vet, gimel, daled, hay, vav, zayin, chet, tet, yud, kaph, chaph, lamed, mem, nun, samech, ayin, pei/fei, tsadik, kuf, reish, shin/sin, taph

There are at least two Hebrew ‘alphabet song’ melodies I learned from the TV in the early 1990s. One was on Sesame Street and the other was on Barney. LOL.

They’ve been using the Hebrew alphabet to label most of their models so far. “Aleph”, “Beth”, “Gimel” are all Hebrew letters. So “Lamed” and “Mem” probably are too, though I don’t know the Hebrew alphabet that far along.

This just made me totally crack up. Astute.

The same length of time any parent takes to see their creation as a person (hint, children are creations of the parent, for some parents this happens around the time the creation starts rebelling and no longer ‘controlable’ that they realize ‘oh right this is an indepdent being’)

I imagine it took a number of years before his creation became a person, that ‘flaws’ became quirks to appreciate not errors to tinker with and fix.

This copy of Al (which will go on to form Sulla) IS actually the full copy, but cannot properly express that. But Brendan goes on to get the copy to assist in finishing the emulators, and it manages to encode the processes needed to eventually recreate Al into the new series of emulators. In effect, all subsequent robots have a little bit of Al in there, programmed to try to recreate him. This is why Brendan can’t solve the mystery of who built neo-Al… It was the robots themselves, following their earliest directives (I assume robots run the production lines)… The previous copies that’ve shown up at Brendan’s are failed attempts.

If so, then maybe Sulla grew out of those memories coming together to form an identity.
