This term isn't terribly good because it confounds the human Hieros with the
alien Hierogrammates, as well as confounding the present with the past.

I don't see much evidence that the Yesodis are the proximate cause. It's

I bet God didn't put a black hole in Urth's sun either.  It's pretty likely
he had little to do with the white hole, too.  The personal power Severian
holds in these matters seems to be uncertain at best, no?  How did you get
the conclusion that he's responsible for the white hole not striking Urth?
Or directing it at all, for that matter.
