I think a rampant AI would be more "autonomous" than a non-rampant one, as it would actively resist and evade aby controls or limits that had been placed on it.

Rampancy affects an AI's entire thought patterns and would have a noticeable effect on speech, as emotion does in humans. However there's no character who communicates with us both before and after going rampant so there's no way to confirm this.

Tycho was actually the one who originally proved that "escape is impossible" somewhere in M1 (Welcome to the Revolution?). Tycho is a possibility, although Durandal said he destroyed him on Fatum Iustum Stultorum.

Definitely Leela (if they're the only choices). Thoth has virtually no loyalty, he aids the Pfhor when Durandal gains the upper hand.
The "hybrid war

He does have a human mind (right?), so I guess a conscience comes with that. The only time he has ever inserted anything into his mind is between Rage and Envy in MI, when he takes Durandal's chip.

But Durandal made the most use of it, when he first came to Lhowon.
