Morph Populace Breakdown

What proportion of the remaining, sleeved transhuman population is made up of: 1) Biomorphs? 2) Pods? 3) Synths? 4) Infomorphs? Any guesstimates? Similarly, do we know how many egos are still in cold storage?

If Mars is representative of

If Mars is representative of the solar system, and it probably is, as more than a third of people live there, roughly 40-60% of transhumans are in biomorphs, with most of the rest being evenly split between pods and synths. Infomorphs are a small minority, not even breaking out of the single digits. There's a line in Sunward about a "billion strong" vault of souls in cold storage, but its likely that the writer doesn't really know.

Luna is a bit at the opposite extreme i think. 70-80% are in synths 5-10% full bio morphs rest pods

I would think if the

I would think if the disparity was that bad, the Clanking Masses would have simply overthrown the squishy meatbags long ago. With only 10% of the lunar population in biomorphs, there wouldn't hardly be enough people to propagate biochauvanism as meme. The break down on Luna is probably similar to Mars, but with less pods (and even less infos) and more Synths which explains a lot of the conflict with Clanking Masses. Logically also, we haven't been told Luna experienced a huge population boom the way Mars did. As the oldest colonies, Luna and the broader LLA are probably full with lots of locals who were organically born there not counting people out of the indenture process and back in biomorphs, and we know they got the other decent share of physical refugees from Earth (which makes some sense, their population is similar to Jupiter's), those physical evacuees are not going to be in synths either.

Splicers

Unless there is a reason to think it's wrong, the Morph Recognition Guide says that the majority of Transhumans are in splicers.

theres other chances of problems that may be included

there is the chance based on a flats genetics, or even a designed morphs genetics cloning, uploading, downloading, whatever may be a percentage of the population that can not be done. such as sciences big problem trying to figure out why they can not clone O- anything. this could be something a government might deal with a percentage of the population that can not be successfully downloaded into a morph or an upload and wipe will not work. just think about upload someone from a morph, that morph is used to download another ego and then find out its suffering multiple personality disorder which stems from some genetic origin or even a bio mod or other elective procedure that has long term game related problems. genetic problems in a flat may not even be fixable for some unique reason.
