Blindsight

Encountered by Section 1 · Theseus

Siri observes specialists and translates their work into a model others can use, even when emotional participation remains difficult for him.

Siri's surgery and learned social models make the continuity between person, instrument, and performance an intimate question.

His ability to read systems without sharing their feelings makes the mission's central distinction personal before it becomes alien.
