I can't find the spot now, but iirc somewhere in IGJ Horn says "Silk is
now an aspect of Pas," or words to that effect.  He doesn't say it as a
conjecture, but as something definite.

Even if it happened, though, Silk didn't necessarily agree to it.  His
personality could have been uploaded into Mainframe without his consent.
