[81:K-316] Out Of Sequence

VALIS is the cypher book to the whole ten volume meta-novel.  And will someday be read as such.

 "Valis" is Gnostic/Mani but secretly Holy Mother Church.  As with God's strategy, the sequence is "out of sequence." 

Viz: the key piece - VALIS - came last. Until it the others did not make sense - i.e., they were taken to have been written as fiction and hence hypothetical.  

VALIS retroactively reinterprets them - shows them in a light that could not be anticipated by an analysis of them — until VALIS came out; typical of the pattern strategy of the wise horn in its dialectical combat-game. 

Here is a big realization, and unexpected: VALIS in itself means nothing.

Its only significance is as the code book to the ten volume meta-novel — and no one has noticed this yet.
