Silk out of time / Blushas? Grushas?

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.

It happens at right angles to Silk's normal timeline.

We are three dimensional creatures moving involuntarily in a fourth
dimension. This motion, and this dimension are seen as time. The
plenum we inhabit is thus four dimensional (three spacelike and two
timelike dimensions). This is embedded within a plenum that consists of
these four, one other spacelike and one other timelike dimension, and a
seventh dimension within which creatures of this order are in involuntary
motion. This is 'time for them' ('them' are the creatures that I generally
refer to as "angels or small-g gods"). Mr Big Nose, of course, is beyond
this level as much as he is beyond our level.

Silk's timeline has been turned 90 degrees.
