Noetic File 2.0: An Apparition of the Intellect
This file contains the famous theophany with the Great Captain’s apparition or eidolon. While it is said such appearances occurred with more frequency to our ancestors, the doubtful nature of such reports leads a growing element of modern scholarship to open the question of whether this passage is a literary invention or poetical device.
The only other option is to presume that our narrator spoke face to face with a nonphysical manifestation. The normal respect and piety with which ancestral accounts are to be held would, of course, forbid any open doubt on this point.
