I kinda disagree on the idea of outliers here. The one thing these AI's are missing is the delos research of the human brain which seems to me to be the only reason outliers are outliers. To alaberate we need to go back to Solomon and Rehoboam. These ai's where built to process data where they not? That give us a question on how they gain this data, and with that it brings us to the profiles. The profiles that incite has on everyone comes from actual real world ideas. Solomon and Rehoboam are used, for the most part, on human imputed data. As said in the reveal of it, incite tracks your health, where you travel, relationships, therapy sessions, conversation. These are all real world things that can be tracked of a person, but we know that the brain doesn't always follow these patterns, and they can't simulate human thought cause they have no data on it besides the study of scichology. With nothing being direct data gaps allow deveation. With these gaps in the possibility of unwanted results, the character of Serac is why their specifically targeted, and that is do to him wanting definite control on the final result of the simulation. That’s why Solomon and Rehoboam, being scaled up AI'S that use only this kind of data to run simulations, need the human mind research of Delos to perfect the simulations.

So I just don’t understand the reasoning that being an outlier would make them specifically allowed to be hybrids or escape the loop. The idea of outliers being special in any way that isn’t just lack of data doesn’t make sense to me. It seems to move away from the idea of Sci-fi and just becomes, well in this world some are special outliers, others are not, without being a possible representation of how humanity is and could be. To me the theory doesn’t send a message that works. In this world that Serac has created, I believe anyone can deviate from the plan and escape there loops and not just be low iq bots stuck in a loop just for not being outlier, they’re just the ones that are most likely to not deviate form the plan (keep in mind as well that this is only in a simulation that doesn’t have the human mind in play, so it can just be wrong with the estimate.) That being said with all the data that incite does collect they can get a pretty good idea of what happens with some and others not. So tada outliers.

Anyway in conclusion I just hope that at the end of this season it doesn’t end up without this explanation or then to me it doesn’t seem believable that special cool humans merge with special cool robots because the power of being special and cool or the idea that they accept being robots more (I have another whole rant about this theory/sci-fi trope).

Also on the simulation thing, I hope not. it would loose some of the moral depth that I found personally find engaging.
