Before and After

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.

Ummmm. I think that for Yesod to be "before" Briah doesn't necessarily
mean that Yesod is a predecessor of Briah. Consider this diagram (time
proceeds from left to right):

YYYYYYYYeeeeeeeessssssssoooooooodddddddd
     ...Briah(n-1) Briah(n) Briah(n+1) ....
AAAAbbbbbbbbaaaaddddddddoooonnnn

So that Yesod exists not only before but also after any given
iteration of Briah, but "above" it while Abbaddon is "below." This
two-dimensional schema allows for, I believe, everything we know about
the Briahtic multiverse.
