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. ---
