Anyway the episode is very good, the case is unique and too bad if only they realize he is talking to someone and not thinking that he is not some delusional fool, maybe they could catch up to makishima...
For Plato, a Platonic ideal is basically an abstract idea of what would be the quintessential (most perfect/standardized) representation of a real thing.

For example, try to imagine the "perfect anarchist" (since that ties into Spooky Boogie). The perfect anarchist would always be suspicious and distrusting of legal authorities (like police officers). But the original Spooky Boogie wasn't, so she was replaced by an AI that could be programmed to talk and act like the perfect anarchist.

An AI would arguably make certain Platonic ideals possible in reality. Nobody could be a perfect anarchist because no human is perfectly consistent, but an AI is more likely to be capable of such perfect consistency.
