Though I would think the hunter-killer cloud would sniff out a device that was once a part of an A.I. and even if we could shield the memory-core from the blast, once we put it back into a freshly-minted machine, it wouldn't bring back E.D.I.. Instead, what we would get is a very confused infant filled with the memories of E.D.I.'s past life, it would be equivilant to a buddhist reincarnation. While I wish I could offer you some solace from my horribly pessimistic thoughts, all I can say is i'm just going along with what the story has said. The most optimistic things I can give you is memory-less but sentient Geth and a very confused E.D.I.-but-not-E.D.I.. She (or he if the black-box is truely that random) might be able to slowly merge his or herself together with the old memories, but that will probably take years of therapy and computer-geek coding. Sorry about being a "Debbie downer".
