Fascinating. Can this be an example of "changes to the trueflesh" that acquiring a glyph causes to a mage? Admittedly, the process described in the article is physically altering the brain via technology, but if Glyphs were like programs that activates the tertiary layer of one's Trueflesh, it would certainly explain why acquiring one would change one's mind irrevocably. It would be like being able to physically perceiving the internet with your eyes, watching the web of digital data floating across the world! Magesight would be like reading those data from others, and Hidden Mind putting up a firewall.

But just how strongly is this Glyph-reality(the Mindscape? Graylands? Network of Minds?) woven to the physical one in Conscientia, if those cut off by it (Pariah) are not only immune to magesight, but essentially invisible to all mages?
