   * Ghost
     * Refers quite clearly to the soul. Some analog thing inside the brain that they don't quite understand in their world. When reading it, it comes off as static.
-    * I'm not sure why they call it a ‘ghost’ rather than a soul. It could be the case that, in universe, it //is// called a soul in English and this is some weird Japanese borrowing. In the primary world, this is probably because it sounds cool or the writer just didn't realize that ‘soul’ and ‘ghost’ don't have the same meaning.((:fn:>Of course ‘Soul in the Shell’ doesn't have the same ring to it.))((:fn:I thought of an alternative explanation. It's possible that the reason ‘ghost’ is used is because it's not meant to be there. Basically like the <q>“ghosts in the machine”</q> of [[lb:i, robot]]. It's a ‘ghost’ because they don't really know what it is or what it's doing there.))
