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.

Actually I got that slightly wrong; the term the Rajan uses is
'forms', not 'aspects'. The term 'aspect of the Outsider' is used, I
think, only in the glossary, where Quadrifons is called that - though
as the Rajan calls him a form, the terms are presumably equivalent.

Anyway, yes, certainly Christianity recognises aspects of God which
are of equal significance - but the forms of the Outsider in the _Sun_
cycle would seem to be people through whom he has spoken or acted -
Kypris and Severian are our clearest examples - and there are
thousands of them.
