(Hello, Autistic_Ace here! This is only a hypothetical at the moment, I'm just curious.)
For those characters that are emergent consciousnesses based from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web (like this guy here; Webmind from the WWW Trilogy, for those curious), or a similarly-distributed entity, would it be possible for them to show up in the setting remotely as-is? Or would humanizing them OR compacting them into much smaller servers/cute robots be the only ways to go?
