Tiny ideas (Camera Matriarch)
I have a headcanon that Cathy built Cam Matriarch as a way for her (Cathy) to live on. It's not literally Cathy's mind uploaded into Camerawoman; it's Cathy adding a sort of 'signature' to her creation. That's what the POV cam 'saw' when seeing Cathy's face saying 'as one unto the end'.
Camerawoman is two minds in one shell. There's her 'real' robot self, and Cathy the human. Cathy realised she was dying so she digitised her mind and stuffed it into a Cam, not realising or not caring that it already had a mind of its own. And Camerawoman possibly doesn't realise she has a mental hanger-on.
