Rys, I disagree. Risidual Self Image is the Mental projection of his digital self. He knows he is alive. It's not like when you plug into the matrix your a different person, well maybe in Neo's case. Risidual Self Image is just your "avatar" if you will. It's how you look. Meaning, if you get a scar, your gonna see it on yourself in the matrix because its what your mind is used to having you look like. Think of this example. If Bane-Smith plugged back into the matrix, he would have the Smith avatar, would he not? Your projection is what your mind is used to seeing you look like.
