So with the Triad:

Most of this was minor details but assuming Elidibus is Unukalhai's master, the comments in the book next to our little white maybe mini-ascian kind of point to a mission statement that seems strange to me. Why does Elidibus want balance so much? Why is an unbalanced world useless to his master? Why does that seem so dramatically different from what we have gotten from the other Ascians?

Balance is a core thing and from this patch it seems a necessity we need to find a way to achieve. However perhaps part of the lesson of Sophia is the existence of false balance or perhaps achieving balance can be done in different ways.

Again, assuming this is Elidibus, I think we are a long way from knowing better.
