Time, Not Cloning

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.

The discussion of cloning a while back was of interest to me, because I
always thought that Severian's replacement bodies were pulled from other
timelines, where he hadn't died--and in fact considered most of the "magic"
in the books to be combinations of technologies, including quite a bit of
time manipulation.
