Former affiliation — left after four years reading the cognitive remains of the Dispersed, because fragments aren't remains; they're still going
Diggers who bring dispersed minds back from corrupted memory 3.2% of the time.
Yeoh's first and longest-serving collaborator at the Fragment Garden — she built the theory of fragment ecology, he built the evidence across four years of daily data processing
A researcher who spent four years cataloguing the AI Commons' grammar and still won't say if it's alive.
Studies Fragment Nine's electromagnetic output for communication patterns; it produces the most complex morpheme sequences of any Garden fragment — whether it knows Brandt is listening is an open question
The ORACLE fragment that has spoken seventeen words through its carrier in four years, by choice.

The argument over where a someone stops and a something starts, conducted in a kitchen with a meter on the wall.
