(urth) Science Fiction and Fantasy Question

[Sergei SOLOVIEV]

I meant that the ship in the "Silhouette" looked like a sketch for 
future work.  For example, there
is a mutiny and mutineers, affiliated with cults, and that reminds the 
mutiny when Severian
is on the Tsadkiel's ship. The ship in "Silhouette"is a modular, loosy 
construction, and overmonitor
remodels it all the time. Maybe indirectly it is an argument for many 
ships in Solar cycle.
By the way, recently I asked myself, maybe the silhouette in the story 
is a cousin of notules?
