I thought, and still do, that it is obvious that if Piaton’s gasping head is
generally seen when Typhon manifests, then Silk’s head will replace that
one. Kypris suggests that Silk and Typhon will be equal: “You’d be
him. And he’d be you.” If one head were gasping in the image she
shows him, it implicitly contradicts that assertion.</DIV></DIV>

I assumed that nobody would disagree on the point of which head, and I moved on

<DIV><BR>> You answered so I played along. Here we are. You still haven't

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you need everything spelled out? I think my reasons were pretty
straightforward to understand. I think the choice of head doesn’t mean
anything unless one of two things happened: (1) Silk’s head replaced the
*non-gasping* head, which would indicate a near-total replacement of Typhon by
Silk, or (2) Silk’s head replaced the gasping head, and was gasping itself,
which would indicate Silk took on a Piaton-like role.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Neither of these two possibilities fit well with Kypris’s proposal, so I
don’t think either of these are what he was shown. Thus he must have
replaced the gasping head, but not himself gasping. Hence my answer to the
original question.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This would indicate he had some approximation of equality with Original
Pas, unless Kypris was lying to him. And I *think*, though I need to
re-read RttW, that her telling the truth fits with the story. Though of
course, the opposite could indicate an unpleasant interpretation for
Silent/Silver Silk – i.e. that he does not appear in the Sacred Windows because
he has not the power to do so. I must confirm on my re-read that there is
good evidence that Silk has a real role in New Pas.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I hope that’s a sufficient explication.</DIV>
