>"inhuman network that self-generates its own inscrutable purposes"
yeah that's basically a kind of godless pantheism and what Lain resolves with—localized and personal humanity is discarded and one becomes immanent to the network of all phenomena/consciousness (GitS does this too in a way, both as manga and the film)—hence the inclusion of Spinoza and Kūkai who are somewhat in that vein of thought. For Spinoza that network is still "God" and doesn't care about you individually to the extent of ordering you what to do and persecuting you for misbehavior, and for Kūkai it's the dharmakaya, which while considered to be manifest due to the compassion of Buddha, such compassion can be both inscrutable and inhuman in the sense that it is neither limited to humans nor does it consist of merely giving humans what they desire to make them feel happy or what they think of as "good." Because that self-produced network does not have any sort of dualistic this-vs-that limitatio, in both Spinoza and Buddhism generally good and bad are just affects upon the person and capable of being transformed by the transformation of the individual. One could also bring in Nietzsche or Deleuze's Spinoza.
