Ermmm...maybe. I suppose it COULD be taken that way. I was thinking of 
the issue narratively rather than thematically. Why was it necessary for 
SILK to be transported to Mainframe, scanned, and to have one of the 
heads of Pas replaced with his own? The most obvious answer to me is 
that Silk is in someway the raw material for Pas. So he is used to 
supplement him.

Think of it like in Jurassic Park where they supplemented the missing 
DNA of dinosaurs with frog DNA. Only in this case, it seems likely to me 
that it was more like supplementing the missing dinosaur DNA with the 
DNA of an actual dinosaur.
