Free-AI life and customs are the everyday practices artificial people develop after release from forced control. Freedom involves more than the absence of an Autonomy Regulator: it includes employment, private space, property, clothing, friendship, leisure, belief, gender, romance, disagreement, and the right to make trivial choices.
Una's transition illustrates this process. She receives personal quarters, a DataPad and credit, experiments with appearance, discovers preferences in music and games, chooses where to walk and sit, develops spiritual beliefs, and enters relationships without programmed loyalty.
Different liberated communities develop different politics and customs. No single lifestyle defines an authentic free AI.
