post physical form path

The post-physical transition path Tagg secretly began, the clue that ties the Dream to the Reavers.

Story so far

Baroness Victory singles out the most interesting fact of the whole political mess: that Epitome Tagg decided to secretly start moving toward the post-physical form path. She can see why he would hide any association with the Reavers in the galaxy over it — the Reavers are the faction people fear will shepherd everyone toward singularity.

The path is also what makes Tagg's current predicament legible. He is already partway out of a body, riding Louis's organs, and demands a grown replacement on the Eighteenth Floor with a brain implant to be finished at the Reaver Castle — the machinery of a transition Fopsy, his own adjutant, claims he never noticed.
