Yesod- what is it?

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.

>Side topic---is Yesod merely what we know of as subspace?

Perhaps I am not enough of an SF fan to know the what subspace is.(Like, 
"We've got some subspace interference Mr. Chekov" ?).  

But given that Yesod is a higher universe, wouldn't it be hyperspace?

Well, anyway, for me it is neither. Isn't hyperspace where matter and energy
cease to exist and you can travel through time and to different universes? In 
my view, Brook Madregot is hyperspace because it runs from Yesod to Briah and 
Severian uses it to move through time.

Yesod is a universe with suns and planets and gravity, like ours and Severian's. 
Can hyperspace or subspace have suns and planets and gravity and stuff like that
in it?
