Wow, Jody! Great stuff!
The "blind spot" (as you say origin) could be G_D, or The Adversary, or any mix
of the two, or, more scary, another more unknown entity. You have nailed the
nacreous color-scheme. Cloud shapes are likewise so amorphous. Hugh has
entered the land of true mystery. It does not render a stable clue to its
"soul," if it has one.
