Mandragora and Sev

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 have any evidence at my disposal for or against the theory that the
Mandragora in the Autarch's visiting room is a Severian clone/embryo but I
wanted to remind the list of Budrys' idea in Rogue Moon that a person under
sensory deprivation shares the experiences of its clone. Thoughts?
