is pretty complex because the story insist in making a lot of overlap between the concept of sentient mind and the concept of soul. they are called fluctlight and are a mix of mind and soul with property of both.

to put simply imagine taking a baby scan his mind and then putting a copy of this mind in a vr world. the copied mind will then grown as a real baby mind will grow with life experiences and teachings from others. at the end of the prcess you will have a real rational thinking copy of a human brain in electronic format capable of reason and sentient. but that mind is in pc program format. it will be for ll intent and purpuse an ia.

at the end of the book alice make the contrast pretty evident. fluctlight are essentially human minds in electonic format, with personality desires, opes dreams and sentiments. they are not ia in the strict term of the word. and alice make it evident that using them will be equivalent to slavery. a theme that probably we will see in unital ring too
