George, I'm impressed. There is something that doesn't quite jive
with me though. Remember the detail that time may flow backwards in 
the Lodge, but it flows forward in our world. Even the souls/spirits
who inhabit the lodge are at time's mercy depending on where they are.
This was proven by me by the grandson who speaks in plain English
when he warns Laura about the "man behind the mask". We had no
previous knowledge of their presence in the lodge, otherwise this
point would have been sealed by the old woman's discourse with
Donna in the Tremond house. Therefore, how do you reconcile the fact
that WE soul may have been split in the last episode but in our
time he had gone psycho a long time ago? As you pointed out it is
referred to in Coop's tapes. On one plane the OAM and the LMFAP
were "split" from WE, but WE should have been normal until then.
How do you explain the OAM's confession that Bob _was_ his familiar?
If our future is the Lodge's past, it means that Bob was Mike's
familiar before he was split as part of WE, yet you assert that
this cannot be possible since Mike did not exist before then.
There are two books by Dan Simmons, _Hyperion_ and _The Fall of
Hyperion_ (yes, shades of Keats), where time arrows going into
opposite directions have a part in the story.
