>Everything is explicitly stated to be jsut a facet of the SA, Shard. Including Carter himself
Which is another example of how the Lovecraftian cosmos differs from Judeo-Christian theology. Instead of jumping through cope hoopes about worlds of creation or the divine being omnipresent everything being, no-bullshit, a facet of the SA further differentiates it from the idea of a divine creator. For one thing, from a certain point of view the SA never created anything at all. It just is. And the established relationship being tied to enlightenment and discovery instead of some moral code of conduct further differentiates it from a metaphysical framework where moral agency is the key to ascension.

>manufacture new ones
>manufacture new Outer Gods
One, I wouldn’t be manufacturing them in this scenario, I’d be finding the right facets of the “fixed” SA.
Two, no.
Never.
Not in a trillion kalpa.

>Room
Yes, so that I can eventually redirect OUTER GOD souls to it, and have it choke to death on those archetypes it can’t digest. It was under terms of employment, not benevolence. It’s like a horrible giant leech being used for a temporary medical procedure.

>Leviathan
I treated Hellraiser Leviathan as what I gathered from the films/shows because that’s what I’m most familiar with and because, be honest, it’s depiction in the comics is so at odds with it’s eventual depiction in the show it might as well be a different character you can’t reconcile.

>fully capable of understanding
Is it? Or is it sufficiently automated at some higher structural level that consciousness is a mere subset of? You can’t have it both ways either. The SA working as defined means that it is automative to the point it may as well be mindless because whatever illusion of consciousness it manifests is part of a higher order changelessness.
