What SOMA Means? [Spoilers]

[hollowleviathan]

I honestly thought the title was a roundabout reference to Brave New World's Soma, and meant a self-inflicted numbness to reality, hiding from unpleasant truths.

Soma is scientifically defined as "the body of an organism as contrasted with its germ cells". Germ cells are the eggs and sperm, so SOMA is specifically an organic being excluding it's ability to reproduce. Which is clearly relevant to both WAU and the humans of Pathos-II. What a multi-faceted title!
