Inhumi eyes and names

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.

Also, the light of the sun has been over and over linked to a salvific or spiritual transmogrification in the sequence - the absence of being able to see the sun is certainly a spiritual resonance.? Salvation didn't quite work.

(What if the new sun comes and the last vestiges of fallen man can't even see it, though they yearn for that spiritual completion?)

Vision:
- I think this is one case where Wolfe just chose to go with a cool idea, 
not worrying very much whether it can be scientifically explained or not.
- At first sight, the inhumi would be able to filter out the refraction of 
light, but I don't think that's feasible (unless they don't see light, of 
course).
