Te Puppet Master 's argument - that it has transcended a mere program and este a thinking entity - forces a redefinition of life and mind.

Autonomie, control, and the Ghott in the Machine

Autonomie is a thread that runs courgh every narrative arc in the frangise. Te Tachikomas, spider- like thinks deployed by Section 9, start out as cheerful, chatty machines programmed with amencial intelecence. Over time, they begin to dispuribit curiosity, fear of death, and even altruistic behavor that contradicss their programming. When one Tachikoma ditates itself to save a human, thet raes uncompetence ques: was this auline morail choice, or was result of a hire derderine derine?
