Roy,
An eidolon is an interesting idea, but where does the eidolon
technology come from? Are you suggesting that some group of
Hiero-Foos have been projecting the Katherine-maid into the
Cathedral all these years? For what reason?
I offered another suggestion a few days back that meets the
criteria you lay out. An artificial person, a la Jonas -- I guess we'd
have to call her a chem? -- might easily enough be built with an
optionally-detachable head. (Recall that Severian is sure he feels
the neck sever under his blow.) Since chem-building technology
was clearly around in Typhon's (and therefore Ymar's) day, this
removes any necessity for alien intervention.
