: Hey first off thanks for posting.

: Your post made me go back and read the Thoth section. There are multiple
: references to Thoth being created by the S'pht'Kr throughout this section.
: So I'm not seeing where the 'Thoth is a Jjaro' theory is coming from. I
: know that Infinity blurs the clarity of M2 a bit but can you point out
: exactly on the Story page where you are picking this up. I then maybe be
: able to add some context.

: Thanks.

Thanks for replying so fast. In answer to your query as to where I got the Thoth = Jjaro theory, the first place it's at is in the Thoth section of FAPTA... David Cornwall references Terminal 2 of Aye Mak Sicur, and notes several features that point to the idea of this being Thoth, and then states that maybe Thoth is Yrro/Jjaro. Later on, Max Lieberman agrees with this idea and points out how it explains various details of Thoth's behavior and such.

Now, that said, my reasons for saying Thoth isn't (a) Jjaro are probably pretty poor ones. To help make certain my theory comes through, I'd like to point to some text from "The Hard Stuff Rules..." (Terminal 2):

"Until now, sentience had always required
cyber-organic symbiosis. All of our
science has led to this conclusion."

The first impression I got was that this means the Jjaro must have been a "cyber-organic symbiosis" (cyborg). Otherwise, I don't see how the S'pht would've started this assumption in the first place. But Thoth is just metal and hardware, and doesn't have any organic parts in him whatsoever (as far as we know of?). Thus, Thoth couldn't be (a) Jjaro.

Hope I didn't just confuse everyone by throwing out another theory so soon.

Ciao,
PerseusSpartacus.
