FA Chapter 12
Printed and read it last night. Concerned about the topology of tension around language and grammar matters. For example, Erien addresses them all with a blanket peerage solution - if Horth accepts that it would only be because he had agreed to treat the Reetions as Erien's parents as per the law Erien laid down when he took him outside. But later Lurol addresses him and we are referring to her using 'correct grammar'. Speaking up? How far?

Transitions feel a little bumpy in places. Maybe something that got cut. Or maybe I was too tired.

Musician misunderstanding
I think we have to devote a line at least to why Horth expects female company to be available. We know it is Vrellish culture. But someone, maybe Evert, should politely suggest abstinence as a viable alternative for the few weeks Horth will be staying with them.

arbiters
Any problem with making the aura scale decimal? That is, out of ten not eight? I once toyed with powers of two as meaningful to Reetions given the computing thing, but it doesn't make sense because arbiters are not binary devices. Binary computing is really very primative, because a two state system is info poor. Arbiters use properties of light to record states (hence the twinkling of an active cognitive core beneath the mica-like surface of a crystronics cube) but only when animated, and interconnections are more like organic, threshhold based ones, with direct links to auxiliary non-arbitorial crystronics of a deterministic nature and the ability to re-animate "brain" (cold stores), and isolate processing objectives organized by a short term goal (personas). Mmm. And as personas go, the one that wrote this didn't have very crisp bounding parameters.
