I'm a tad confused on how the whole Persona thing works in AR. The book says:

Your persona’s icon graphically represents you in augmented reality (and especially in virtual reality, see p. 228), and in most forms of Matrix communications (email, messaging, phone calls, etc).

Now, I know this might seem like a stupid question, but I asking it because I'd prefer I looked dumb for a few posts than remain confused on the topic, so here goes: I'm assuming that when you persona is used for flavoring, like showing it as an icon in your field of vision when someone it talking to you via com, or when a text message is sent. But does this persona appear all the time if you'd like it to? Say like if your persona was looking a man on fire that AR would superimpose your persona over where you stood and make you look like a man on fire.

Personally I've said 'no', something like that is for when you are fully within the matrix and people are seeing your matrix persona, not just your day to day icon.

What's the word?
