Why not? If it's the brain's 'body' it should be just as 'alive' as any other machine with a brain hooked up to it.
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.
I would be open to a Tochiro/Arcadia relationship if someone could figure out how to get their soul to flow through the whole ships electronics, failing that I wouldn't consider the machine parts of a ship to be alive, nor have I seen anything that supports treating a brain wired into a starship like a standard cyborg.

Obviously, full-conversion borgs have an armature inside their frame which carries their organic parts, and this is configured to automatically move these parts around in order to dodge incoming phase-beamer fire. You might say they have wandering minds.
