I don't understand the distinction you're making, and anyway I don't think 
we can have a discussion at this level of detail comparing a process we 
don't understand and a state we can't comprehend beyond the above, That's 
cool, wonder if there's a connection.

Though when Vlad has his "Vae puto deus fio" moment(s) in _Issola_ he 
doesn't say, it was like teleporting while teleporting.  He doesn't 
say much about the experience at all, actually, iirc.
