"Mm. In technical terms, it's caused by the limitations of their matrixes. After seven years, they start running out of space, their processes start overlapping... but that manifests in the form of discovering more human-like, disruptive emotions, so. Yeah. Pretty much."
Only a few years ago, she wouldn't have understood half of what she's saying. Some of it the Project taught them, standard classes about AI ahead of agents' imminent implantations, but far more of it learned in her own time as she sought to understand everything wrong at the program.
Where, exactly, Texas fits on the scale is... hard to say. The AI herself can't have been around more than a few years, yet she was so remarkably human in her ignorance of her non-humanity. Even the violence can't be said to be anything but human at its core.
"There's a theory that an AI that makes it through rampancy might... stabilise, turn out as close to human as a digital mind can get," CT says. She glances back at Ripley, then toward the turning that leads toward her neighbourhood with a breath of a laugh. "But that's a whole other theoretical science lesson not quite suited to happening in the middle of the street."
