Well, if it's an iteration, it's going to be similar. The iterations get 
"better."

It's complicated by the fact that (AFAICT) Severian is in the future of 
that iteration which is in our past. His universe is older than ours but 
has not yet been born. Thus the translator's note about excavating the 
deep future.
