It's certainly possible that calling characters "5-6" was a passing fancy, but, given that Cordwainer Smith's stories tend to be laden with hidden meaning, including references to historical and legendary events, it's likely that he chose the numbers for a reason. His surviving papers are archived and it's possible that the key still exists. | |
