| Jan 25, 2017 at 15:38 | comment | added | gowenfawr | in a book where one of the foundational points is that the network allows completely anonymous yet full interaction ('racting'), it's completely credible. Nell considers Miranda her mother, yet the two have only ever met via racting. Fiona's relationship with her father was full despite being limited to racting with his subconscious self. So your question might be, what parts of the racting world embodied by the primer were shared between Nell and the Mouse Army? | |

If the magic she did in the Primer to release them is to affect what's going on in the mice's primers it means that the story arcs are coupled and that each mouse experienced being trapped as one of many mice rather than the protagonist of their own story. This doesn't seem credible to me. | |
