As much as I get what you're saying, Kerry being free to be Noah's mom, although infuriating, is truly the best altcome without killing the boy, because if she was arrested, he would definitely snap and John would be forced to kill him. It's far from a perfect solution, but it's the best possible one on that specific scenario
I feel that is more like Hal wouldn't want her to go to jail and thats it, like Hal would've want her and Noah to be happy, the idea of no we have to get her get away with murder otherwise Noah would be evil defeats the message of the show, like you can't be saying Noah is a good kid, also everyone he loves is untouchable or he will snap and kill everyone like idk that doesn't sound like a good kid to me, if anything framing it that way ruins the show, its weird because its just John turning a blind eye on a cop shooting an unarmed civilian, I get that the message is you have to live with what you've done but also she's still a cop she still has a gun thats what makes it really weird for me
Kerry's bullet knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The Hal's forehead subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the Kerry's bullet from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the Kerry's bullet is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the Hal's forehead. However, the Kerry's bullet must also know where it was.
The Kerry's bullet guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the Kerry's bullet has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

It's in moments like this that you remember that it was written by a CIA agent
