    Okay i do have a passage that i want to hear other people's
    interpretation. If this passage is too straightforward I can
    expand my specific question concerning it.
    But since its supposed to be just passage interpretation
    I will leave it alone for now.

    p.229
    "At this moment, asleep, "Lila" doesn't exist anymore then a
    program exists when a computer is switched off. The intelligence
    of her cells had switched Lila off for the night, exactly
    the way a hardware switch turns off a computer program."
