    Luckly for Eron, not all of him was killed. Only his
    fam was removed and disintegrated. As the fam contained
    most of his memories and greatly augmented his cognition,
    the execution destroyed most of Eron as he was. However,
    some small part of Eron survives, that rudimentary part
    of him that is entirely biological. This fragment must
    now carve out a new life for himself.

    Phaethon suffers a similar seizure in THE GOLDEN AGE [1]. But Phaethon willfully excises his artificially augmented awareness.
    Shortly after the saga's start, the Posbis play a prominent part in
    Perry Rhodan. They are Pos(itronic) Bi(ological) Robots.
    In both cases the biological brain's anima arguably ambiguates the
    agressive animus' binary thought process.

    Note.
