For all of those asking how the hermits view and understand deviancy, hopefully this clears it up: they don’t.
Doc, the first to “deviate,” is the one to coin the term— Doc’s model was built specifically to create out-of-the-box solutions to questions and problems, so it doesn’t take long for him to evaluate his own programming and realize android technology is capable of surpassing their written directives entirely. He brings his findings to Xisuma, thinking he may be able to offer an android’s perspective to a feature X built into their systems, to find out that X actually had no idea that his creations were capable of this at all :-)
So, uh. Based on what we know thus far: Ren clearly has no qualms with deviancy, not understanding a lick about all of this android nonsense, X is fascinated by/ecstatic over the discovery, and bdubs thinks this newfound sentience (despite not knowing anything about it) means the androids are going to rule the world (or something). so…. if that gives you any indication of how things are going, yeah DGBJDFGHK
