One aspect of malleability: At a specific point in the forecast timeline, how easy or difficult is it to create an emulation with a replacement subsystem or component that is functional, but functions differently? Does the emulation continue to work if these sub-systems are replaced or altered to a lesser or greater degree?
Obviously, replacing neural components with others could create an emulation which diverges from the human mind, becoming more and more neuromorphic.
