I hope I’m using the term correctly. In Retribution, there is a character Oriel who is described as a minor aspect of Intrepid Eye. Is a minor aspect the same thing as a fragment? If not, what are the differences between the two?
I think they’re the same in function (that is, allowing the AI to be multiple places at once) but a minor aspect is far more advanced than a mere fragment. More akin to a smaller clone of the original with more processing power, whereas a fragment is highly restricted to what it can do based on its memory capacity.

Thanks for clearing that up. When an AI such as BB loses their fragment, they feel like they’ve lost a part of themselves. Is that the case for AIs who can’t recover their minor aspect?

I don’t think so. Intrepid Eye didn’t seem particularly worried that she lost a fragment of herself in Retribution, more annoyed that she’s lost a viable asset in her plans.

That’s the feeling I got as well. Thanks for your replies
