《玲音》梳理（*含劇透）

在劇中有兩個組織，就是為了爭奪網絡世界protocol的控制權而互相鬥爭。其中一個組織橘總研，另一個就是以英利政美為首的騎士集團。這形成了題目中所指的『一個對立面』。而玲音就正正站在這個對立面之中，成為騎士集團的鬥爭工具。

Protocol 7: 英利還在橘總研工作時寫的協議—利用舒曼共振，不需要NAVI電腦，只用Psyche晶片就可以連線到WIRED網絡世界（連接網絡世界和現實世界）

英利對這個協議進行了非法改寫並內嵌了自己的意識，以便隨心所欲地控制這個協議和成為WIRED世界中的神，橘總研知情之後解僱了他並全力阻止他的計劃（+為了重新掌握Protocol 7的控制權）

玲音有三個：現實世界的玲音（Ego 自我）、網絡的玲音（Superego 超我）、反派「邪惡玲音」（Id 本我）

1) 作為程序的玲音

玲音借助自己强大的计算机天赋寻找着自己身份的真相，最终揭开了隐藏于互联网中的阴谋：知名科技公司橘综研的前任CEO英利政美，将霍奇森教授所开发的收集儿童集体潜意识的机器加以改进。通过这一机器，他试图收集和串联起全部人类的集体潜意识，使自己成为互联网世界的“神”。而玲音，则是英利政美通过这一套系统所创造的，存在于他人记忆中的人工智能。

Lain最初的人格是レイン而不是岩倉玲音。在最初教授用孩童的脑电波进行试验时，也就是kight开发lain程序时，レイン就诞生了。它的本质是基于人类集体无意识网络与物质世界中的信息交互平台internet存在的，是程式

2) 現實世界的玲音

接下来的突破就是把玲音放入现实物质世界。加入了跨界软体，玲音就拥有一个物质的身体，而且也可以移动实物。她就被安排进入了一个「家庭」和上学。在Layer01，玲音的反应缓慢，因為她只是个初版，软体执行速度未曾优化。但是当她遇上危险的时候，网上玲音的性格就会取代反应缓慢的玲音，作出反击。

3) 奸笑的惡玲音

恶lain，knights制造出用于对原lain进行试验的观测性人格

附注：

玲音的「家人」：橘組織監視玲音的工具（引導她成長&防止她失控） 'given instructions to regulate her growth and keep her from using her godlike potential to break the borders between worlds as this is something they deemed dangerous.'

姐姐美香的古怪表現：在跟太郎接觸以後被污染成了騎士團的傳真機（被太郎濺到可樂，要使用他（們？）送的紙巾 'In episode 5 Mika receives a tissue pack from a man at the Shibuya intersection who we can assume was secretly a member of the Knights in disguise . . . Taro (who is also of the Knights) spills his drink on her, forcing her to open the tissues she received to wipe her sleeve dry . . . Following this, she starts to lose her perception of time.'

自殺：將意識上傳到網絡 玲音：人類的集體潛意識；英利希望玲音和他一樣自殺/放棄肉身，控制玲音=成為全知全能的神 （至於為什麼要給她肉體，一方面可以視為程序研發的進步，而二是更全面徹底的操控可能需要她有人類情感/自我意識*） 騎士團：與英利合作或者被利用的組織 橘總研：要阻止英利 太郎：騎士團一員，負責操縱改變記憶

I believe the key to this is in Eiri’s claim that he was the one who gave Lain ego. Running off the story that Lain was originally a loose consciousness emanating from the Earth, then she would have been completely unanchored as a jumble of unrefined, unconscious feelings and desires without the capability for recognition of self or conscious thought. I believe that by placing her inside a body and letting her live like a human she would have started to develop a sense of identity and the capacity to use her perception-altering powers at will. In order for Deus to achieve his goals he needed to utilise Lain’s powers. He wanted to have Lain first become self-aware, and then pressure her into undergoing ego death and suicide, so that she would return to the Wired as an empty shell which he could effectively use as a control terminal to take over the collective unconscious and rewrite reality/perception. This would require him to take control of Lain’s psyche, an act which would only be possible if she first had the potential for sapient thought.
