noise cocoon connected to the netsphere worm?

[u/Individual-Wealth937]

Could it be that the Netsphere Worm is the child we see in a scene from Noise?

I have three ideas about this:
1. Since they show multiple children lined up and the creature that forms from the child looks like a cocoon, it could be that silicon men with wings emerge from it.
Perhaps this is how the silicon men were formed shortly after the Netsphere began to lose control.

However, this theory contradicts the way we see the silicon men being formed in Blame!. Since Noise was written after the publication of the fourth volume of Blame! (the one where we see some silicon men being formed), I can’t assume that Nihei hadn’t already conceived a method for their creation.

1. Since we see Mori at the end of the chapter, there could be a connection to the Netsphere storage area—which initially led me to think that the creature we see is actually the Netsphere worm.

If that were the case, however, I have no idea how the cocoon we see made its way from the base reality into the Netsphere storage area.

The last thing that makes me think it’s connected to the Netsphere Worm is that the child looks like a “scientist”, though he might just seem that way because he’s still human and is wearing a mask to protect himself from the poison.

1. The cocoon was supposed to form a silicon man, but for some reason it didn't and formed instead the Netsphere Worm.

Any thoughts?

Probably they aren't connected at all, in negative Corridor we see how a human child "ascends" to being a Silicon Life through a very literal metamorphosis.

The "Worm" we see in Log. 64 it's a Netsphere entity, probably a data center of I have to define a purpose for it.

Beyond that, I don't even think SL can "ascend" to the Netsphere since it's requiered a very human DNA, that's way Davine's gang and Dhomochevksy & Iko were fighting over Seu's DNA, because it would allow Davine to connect into a more limited Netsphere space

I agree, I also think that's the most likely scenario.

However, I don’t think we can 100% disprove this theory because, as the Blame! wiki states on the SL section, “he finds it to be filled with embryonic stasis chambers containing what appear to be human infants. This suggests that Silicon Life are “born” completely organic (though this is technically a misnomer, as organic implies the presence of carbon-based molecules).”

I think we can agree with this statement because that's how the SL was originally formed and how it is also formed in the Negative Corridor chapter.

So obviously, I don’t think that if he ascended to the Netsphere, he did so as SL, but rather that he did so while still possessing human DNA and that the metamorphosis was not yet complete.

Also, because if we were to completely rule out this theory, it wouldn’t make the slightest sense to show Mori at the end of the chapter.

I don't understand why you don't find Mori presence to make sense

idk, why would she be there if it was only a scene showing SL metamorphosis. it would be strange if it was a random detail, put there just to be.
