We had artificial non-corporal intelligences at StE (the one that I can remember was AM), so that sounds perfectly doable.

Essentially, Webmind would function like every other character: He could regain any parts of his former self that you would have fun playing with and you could omit any parts of his former self that would make him hard to play or you just don't think are fun.

As the game takes place in our modern world, the www exists. So if you should at some point want him to make the jump to being a non-corporeal internet entity, you could always echo the loss of his human body (we have had people echo all kinds of physical losses in StE). This would require some plotting, so if you ever want to lose his body, please contact a mod in advance, but it would be possible! (It would also be permanent, unless he at some point in canon acquires a physical form that could later be echoed to reverse the effect, as all echoes are permanent.)
