Haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if someone already mentioned this. Has it been considered that the Absolute is the narrator? Or the layered voices that say 'Who are you?' and 'Who do you dream of at night?' during character creation. The narrator is clearly a woman, so obviously could fit the role of Absolute as the Absolute is described as a woman by her followers, but if we're considering the idea that the Absolute could have multiple identities, or is a God with the ability to shape themselves how they like, the other disembodied voice we hear during CC that seems to have masculine and feminine voices layered over each other could very well be the Absolute too.
