        Thanks be to Alex and Greg and Joerg for clearing up my confusion. I think I was confused as to exactly what Greg was saying with his emphatic 'The Otherworlds are not Transcendant'.

        Indeed. I'm still a little confused as to what exactly it means for a world to have no link to the transcendant in relation to the second of these (if an inhabitant of a short world practices extreme mysticism, can they contact the transcendant? Is there then a link?).
