Yes, I agree- this is the Anaander Mianaai of which was wrote:
“The Lord of the Radch arrived in the middle of the day, on foot, a single one of her walking down through the upper city, no trace of her in the tracker logs, and went straight to the temple of Ikkt. She was old, gray-haired, broad shoulders slightly stopping, the almost-black skin of her face lined-- which accounted for the lack of guards. The loss of one body that was more or less near death anyway would not be a large one.”
Throwing away a copy or two is no trouble at all.
I also disagree with the OP's "can probably be usefully modelled as a scale-free network" comment-- we had two opposite faction Anaander Mianaai bodies standing right next to each other and not acknowledging they were enemies in Justice. There's gates between bodies of one type or another, either a One Esk / Two Esk / Etc setup like ships, or something else. Going to try to write more about this at some point...
