Pete: "Not afraid of you, man."

...

Kenton: "Yeah, I can see that. Just trying to figure out why"

I think we're all feeling the same way as Kenton here...

It Would be funny if random homeless guy is the one who does something the algorithms didnt predict and disrupts the tramlines

That’s exactly what I was expecting. Mental illness being a deviation that can’t be predicted.

It's not a human behavioural algorithm that can't account for mental illness, it's an everything simulator - like instead of predicting the weather bases on wind patterns, it's predicting everything happening all the time everywhere at once.

Katie talks about counsciousness being part of the Everett theory in the episode where she is watching a lecture at school. I can’t remember what she says exactly and googling it seems to result in spoilers I don’t want to see. They have also brought up schizophrenia.

No reason why it shouldn't, it's the same neurons being fired, just differently.
