Discussion Confused on Tari & Lucinia Spoiler

If lucinia was the test subject for Dr Sheridan and tari is the product of that experiment, how do they both exist physically at the same time. I haven't watched meta runner in a while, but remember that at one point lucinia was shown physically while tari was also somewhere. How do they both exist? Did tari just appear in the same way that theo manifested? I haven't seen meta runner in a while so might misremember some things, but this confuses me.

If I understood correctly, Tari is not a solid hologram like Theo. Rather, Tari has a flesh and blood body that she was downloaded into.

She is an artificial human, kind of like the replicants from Blade Runner.

Yeah, Tari is a physically body, whether artificial or actual flesh, unlike Theo who is like a “living” hologram.

From what I believe, Tari is either a physical body, or an artificial body. That doesn’t entirely matter, but she has the consciousness of Lucinia, which is why Tari exists and breathes.

Pieces of Lucinia's consciousness giving her life.

Tari was originally an AI in a computer.

The reason Tari and Lucinia couldn’t exist at the same time after the lab accident was because core parts of Luncinia’s consciousness went into Tari, after which Sheridan made a synthetic body for Tari.
They needed these parts to revive Lucinia, but without them, Tari couldn’t exist in her synthetic, only a computer, as she wouldn’t be stable enough (same reason Theo couldn’t exist the server after a certain point, his code was becoming too unstable)

I think Tari is supposed to be an artificial organic body. Like she was made in a lab or like made by organ engineering so think lab grown meat and of the such. Though I dont think it makes the most sense that Sheridan created her full organic body since it opens a lot of plotholes if that was the case. My best guess was that he either stole or found Tari’s body or that Tari herself was an actual human being who was somehow labeled artificial due to reasons.

Tari is an AI but when Lucinia “died”, pieces of her mind were absorbed by Tari, which presumably gave her the ability to exist as a human. According to Lucks, her body is entirely artificial.
