I agree, especially in the light of paired opposites I'm viewing things in. We've got evil fish
symbols and good ones. Maybe comparable to the Long Sun's simple Sign of Addition paired with the
gammadion (swastika) to represent "good" vs. "evil", light vs. dark, spiritual vs. mechanical aspects 
of the Whorl.
 
In my growing view, it is combining the paired opposites which is seen (by wolfe?) as the expression
of the One True God. Good fish + evil fish, Severian + Apheta, Silk + Hyacinth, Apollo + Dionysus.
Maybe something like that. Since RttW gives us Quadrafons rather than Janus, it may be that the
process is more complicated than simple dyads.
