If Agnes' earth bound Body is really dead and her, ahem, soul and or consciousness is being maintained by the Framework why is it that Ian is a killer for killing Agnes' Framework bound body?

Ian has been brainwashed and is being controlled as well as manipulated by both Aida and the Framework. Are his actions truly his own as well as representative of who he really is? When we do things in our dreams and or things are done to us in our dreams they are never literal and are symbolic. Why would Simmons (and for that matter even the audience) wish to freely interpret the Framework as THE reality when it is clearly an *alternate * state of consciousness?

It is my observation, and I'm probably alone in this that, The Rules that govern the Framework are fluid depending on the whims of Aida and the manipulation of the Darkhold. Aida was able to completely replicate consciousness to the point that the doppelganger doesn't know that it isn't the original. Simmons was transported into a dead body and re-animated it. Why can't Aida do the same for Agnes?
