We don't know if Shepard really survived though, all we know is that we see him or her take one last breath after the Crucible fires. Considering they're non-existent in the epilogue, Shepard is more than likely dead.

But what constitutes a "synthetic system" in this case? Would a VI count? Could a ship be affected?
