Thank you. For the human intellect to grasp immaterial it then must be a part (or at its core though parts and cores are just analogy) non-physical, immaterial (and indestructible) soul. Which is why we must treat people with such profoundly more respect than mere physical beings or things.
However, we can create, through seemingly mere physical means, the combination (e.g. In vitro fertilization) of substances (at least transiently perhaps even themselves organisms - sperm and egg, though that may be incorrect it does require viability which implies internal organization to work) that combined allows reception from (in your essay Source) and instantiation of a soul.
Said more simply man cannot manipulate the soul but man can make IVF “work” and the resultant substance formed can evidently receive a soul because the babies have evidence of intellects just like non IVF babies - and thus somehow acquired a human soul (and the resulting profound respect it calls for).
Whatever AI is or is meant by it, it would seem determining whether it is always and inevitably never itself a substance (never even an organism) or whether it is possible, somehow, in analogy to IVF, to Frankenstein together a collection of AI things that can receive a soul. Which would have heavy ethical concerns.
I apologize as this has little to do with time and your essay but the AI negative case you mention is incredibly important to get correct.
