Rudesind / Inire / Lunar Picture

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.

Forgive me if I am going over old ground but I am a first time user of this forum 
(after hanging about for a year or two) and I have just started a re-read of the 
New Sun after a long break. 
Much of what occurs later in the books I have forgotten. 
So I am forming theories that may turn out to be horribly ridiculous. I did see a 
bit of recent discussion about Rudesind and Inire ? which sprang to mind 
as I read ?The Picture-Cleaner and Others? chapter.

The line that jumped off the page for me this time was -
?There?s your blue Urth coming over his shoulder again, fresh as the Autarch?s fish.?
Rudesind - when showing Severian the lunar landscape image.

The use of ?your blue Urth? makes me strongly believe Rudesind 
is a Cacogen and possibly Inire. 
I also wondered if this is something he(if it is Inire) does to all potential 
Autarchs / Concilators. Show them an early image of the Earth lit by the 
sun ? fresh as the Autarch?s fish. He mentions that he has cleaned 
this image 2 other times in the past and I wonder if the vague times he gives 
could correspond to the rise of the previous two Autarchs.

Well, I apologise for the quality of my English ? I have no excuse apart from lack of education.
