<pre wrap="">Then Severian CAN die.
But after he becomes a god, can he die?
Is there a point where he is no longer a god---Ushas---and can die?

Aquastors begin as machine-sustained images that need not age, but can, as
the machine operator's wish and skill may allow. An aquastor that lasts
long enough to accumulate its own matter via eating, etc. can become
self-sustaining and wean off machine support and thus begin to age and
accumulate scars like a natural individual would.
