Jazz survives as an Earth musical tradition and becomes part of free-AI culture through personal choice. After liberation, Una develops a preference for John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and Sonny Rollins.
Her taste is one element of a broader self-created life that includes a favorite color, clothing, hairstyle, knitting, games, films, and preferred places to walk. Jazz is not presented as a universal AI preference; its importance is that Una gets to choose it.
