Travelling North aka miscellaneous thoughts on Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think so.   To travel to Yesod it is necessary to break the laws of 
physics in Briah by travelling faster than light (though the mechanism 
proposed, tacking across the light from the stars, is cute but unfeasible).
