I have a quick question. Why did Silk agree to become a part of Pas?

Is there an explanation in the Long Sun books? Just wondering. We have absolutely, positively no proof that he did. This was only a conjecture of the pre Horn/Pas Horn that it MIGHT have happened.

I can't find the spot now, but iirc somewhere in IGJ Horn says "Silk is now an aspect of Pas," or words to that effect. He doesn't say it as a conjecture, but as something definite. Even if it happened, though, Silk didn't necessarily agree to it. His personality could have been uploaded into Mainframe without his consent. --Adam *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
