(I hope I'm remembering that name right.) Perhaps *both *Blue and Green are Urth? ``` Dan'l Danehy-Oakes ``` --- ### Marc Aramini *10 Oct 2013, 18:21 · in reply to Dan'l Danehy-Oakes* Breed There, sorry. I think the planets are symbolized by the fava and her friend (switcheroo on who is inhuma) and the ring: seems like two rings because it changes size and color, but it's the same ring that auk brought to Blue after repairing the lander - the same planet had changed colors. What have the hiero's done at the end of urth of the new sun? I've always been "right" about these books save the fumbling attempt to ascribe a mechanism to the transport to urth when considering it as Blue, and I was corrected and the mechanism sprung out. Until we comprehend what has changed in the solar system there is no means to "prove" what Blue is.

It's biotic system doesn't have the salinity and the micro-organisms of green- the inhumi can't effectively breed their but they rather like old Urth. I think it's pretty clear the botanic gardens lead elsewhere or elsewhen- remember that reflected light can "create" according to one passage in new sun. > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 10, 2013, at 9:01 AM, "Dan'l Danehy-Oakes" wrote: >> The thing, the thing is, that if Urth is Green then there's no easy explanation, but if Urth is Blue, then the obvious explanation for the Ring of Glass is that it's the ruins of Father Inire's Atropaic Gardens.

The Yesodis substantially restore urth to its Edenic state via quakes and tidal floods and renewed solar output, but there are still some Citadel towers for Juturna to sit among after the floods, so I guess it could be possible for there to be glassy remains of the Botanic Gardens. The reflective geodesic dome does have interesting implications about time and space. Considering we have 2-fold books and 8-fold chambers, the many-facets domes could have superior stability, explaining how they were able to be left open and unattended and still do their intended function. ``` Jeff Wilson - < jwilson at clueland.com > A&M Texarkana Computational Intelligence Lab < http://www.tamut.edu/cil > ``` --- ### Lee Berman *11 Oct 2013, 11:19 · follows Jeff Wilson* FWIW, here is an excerpt from the interview- Some Moments With the Magus:.. with Nick Gevers, Michael Andre-Driussi and James Jordan. > JJ: Aww, why not?

A good interview, definitely worth reading- http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/intgw.htm --- ### Marc Aramini *11 Oct 2013, 12:01 · in reply to Lee Berman* Once again though, Gevers suborned Wolfe's statement out of me before I received Gene's permission to share it, confronted Wolfe about it, mocked it as a joke, and behaved very unethically. I put no validity in that question or that answer, which is an attempt to corner Gene in a puzzle he carefully developed.
