Yes, they’re limited to the code. There’s some overlap with how we use runes. It’s only as intricate as the runes used to create it. Simpler runes, simpler results, like the regular companion bots. More intricate runes with complicated patterns, you get a Theobold. Even further than that, you get Aurora.

[At least that’s how he understands it.]

Depending on the code, it can adapt in certain ways, and it can give the impression it’s “learning,” but really it’s still a part of it’s program, as opposed to how biological intelligence works. The benefit is that once it knows something, it can retrieve that information faster and with more detail than average biological recall and thought. It probably would have made all those nights reworking our calculations much easier. There’s a man, Finch, who knows much more about this.

Inspect one closer? I’m sure we could get one to look at.

[He has no idea it’s definitely one of the few crimes to do that.]
