There's a difference between getting a prompt from documentation, and actually activating the shutdown sequence?
--- End quote ---
Yes. One literally nothing more than the equivalent of an ASCII text file that has no impact on the function of the system when displayed. The commands entered through a VoAc or keyboard are processed in a totally different way.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Getting dissed by a figment of your subconscious. Woo.
--- Quote from: DSL on 18 Oct 2019, 01:58 ---Also, interesting concept that, in Roko's subconscious at least, soul and body are discrete and each has its own volition. Another facet of dissociation?
--- End quote ---
Mind–body duality. Woo.

And if that sequence is in fact a shutdown sequence, then why do we have Panel 7 of 4115?
This arc has me amusedly baffled so far...

Now that you've pointed it out, they do look bigger in panel 4 of 4114. But, they look about the same between both body ghosts in panel 3 of the same page. Posing in panel 7 of 4115 makes it difficult to tell, but I would say they're all the same cup size. Overall, I would chalk it up to how they're standing or it being a product of Roko's subconscious.
The difference between spaghetti-strap, halter top/tank top, and t-shirt are messing with my tired brain, though.

Oh I get it, I think. Roko's old machine figment ID was able to communicate with her AI substrate EGO eloquently from years of co-habitation and Roko's core "BIOS" having all the old addresses of the body's functions working together in simple harmony.
The new Philomena model's functions are probably similar but may have different or a refined command language or address order. (insert uber nerd smiley here)
Roko's new machine figment is speaking "words" Roko understands, but are effectively gibberish to the AI substrate "BIOS" and she needs to make friends and have a deep head to heart "BIOS" update with new Roko's body ghost.
Hope its that easy for Roko as it was with Bubbles memory arc using Yay Newfriend's plot advancing powers.

This whole dream sequence seems like something within Spooybot's powers. They were the one who "helped" Roku shut down, could be within their power to do something more. Modifying Roku's code to fix the problem might violate their ethics, but maybe giving her the tools to resolve this issue herself doesn't.
