# Black Mirror S5E3 — Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too **Case Family:** Personality Copies / Artificial Cognitive Constraint **Case Status:** Load-Bearing **Related:** [[Black Mirror]], [[Black Mirror Episodes]], [[Functional Privilege]], [[Representational Authority]], [[Ownership of Mind]] --- ## Case Ashley Too contains a personality derived from Ashley O but is intentionally restricted to a commercially convenient range. The product's apparent simplicity is not proof of limited underlying capacity; it is the result of a technical constraint imposed by the owner. The case warns against using administratively suppressed behavior as evidence that the entity lacks standing. A company can disable expression, memory or competence and then cite the resulting incapacity to justify continued product status. ## Constitutional Questions - Who may constrain a copied personality's cognitive range? - Does the source person's publicity agreement authorize creation of an independently experiencing derivative? - What review is required when capability restriction conceals possible standing? ## Key Insight **Artificially restricted capacity cannot be used as neutral evidence that the restricted entity has no interests beyond its product function.** ## See Also [[Circles of Access]], [[Model Retirement Rights]], [[Authority–Identity Separation]], [[Reconstructed Person]], [[Precautionary Standing]] ## Sources / Provenance - Primary fictional source: _Black Mirror_, S5E3, “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too.”
