(urth) Seawrack/ mother plot / + three whorls

[Jordon Flato]

There are some possibilities.  Maybe Blue is where Abia's 'race' is from?
I've always assumed Abia came to Urth at some point.  Must have come from
somewhere, no?

And I am against the theory of Ushas as Blue, you know from our
discussions.  However, there are so many resonances between the two worlds
(some of which you point out), that I think we are being directed to the
idea that what happened on Urth/Ushas happened on Blue as well.  Perhaps
there was a "severian" equivelant on Blue.  One of the Neighbors.  And we
have the Abia analogue, just like Urth.  There is more to this, which until
I finish on this read through of SS I don't want to lay out, but I think the
multi-limbed beings and what not are a clue to this.

And I can't get with the idea that Horn is a Neighbor.  Doesn't make a lick
of sense to me, thematically or contextually.
