Brief description
Uncle Georgo has programmed Cordelia (AI) to help him hide his dementia.
If his dementia were to beĀ discovered, he would be "recycled" (killed to spare and recycle resources).
Rava and Ludoviko are arguing about how to proceed given that Cordelia was hiding George's dementia, which is illegal. Rava is defensive of Cordelia, and wants to help her keep operational and repair her (remove Georgo's programming and its consequences in the AI's system), while Ludoviko is furious among other things because no one is recording the family history at the moment. In the quoted scene, he is about to hit Rava, when Cordelia declares that she is still functional and willĀ be recording that. (Kindle Loc 253)
