Talk:Ghost Devices

Meaning of title
I remember from reading the book that the title came from an operating system that continued to recognize a piece of hardware that had been removed from it; however, I don't remember how this related to the plot. The characters discuss this at some point, so I know its relevant. Does anyone remember? (DrZarkov 17:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)) ...The relevance of the Title is that the Machines of the V'olach are devices which continue to carry out the Ghostly orders of their extinct creators however illogical or self-contradictory. The further relevance is that false hardware recognition after removal, and the way in which the space-time continnuum continues to respond to things that have since been edited out of time - in the paradoxes depicted towards the end of the book, are related by analogy.
