I think your post is excellent. The foregoing paragraph still seems rather
mysterious, though, as it seems to hint at events during a period about
which we know little or nothing - i.e. a time between when people first came
to the Whorl, and when they began living on the inner surface, in cities
such as Viron. Perhaps they lived in the tunnels while the main interior of
the Whorl was excavated and terraformed. Their tasks would have included
hauling out thousands of cubic kilometres of asteroid rock (makes me think
of ancient Egyptians constructing the Pyramids). Mainframe probably did not
yet exist. Did Typhon (and/or his family) institute a special form of
worship during this period?
