Ah, I didn't know that.

So Severian is born into the far future of "our" unreachable past?

That's crazy enough to be true.

I am beginning to think that the Hieros are indeed our future and that their creators were the future Us, not a past race in a past universe. Thus, all Hieros and all white energy come from this future, moving backwards through time to reach us. Since this means no other universes or iterations are necessary, the whole rerunning of Briah theory (as opposed to merely intervening on Urth again and again) can be dispensed with. It's
 simpler.

Does this make sense?


Almost.  

It fails (for me) because it doesn't take into account Wolfe's open statement that Briah is a previous iteration of _our_ Universe. This forces iterative Universes into the equation.
