Alright boys get your tin foil hats out, it's time for theories about the series. I'll start
>Severian died when he was fighting with Vodalus
>Dr. Thalos gives him the same coin that Vodalus gives him
>the coin is fake
When you go back to the first book and read what he says about symbols he says that all symbols are lies and we merely accept the precepts of reality and continue forward.
>The coin is a metaphor for the lie that we accept and proceed with the story
From there we continue the story as is, it could be a line or it could not be, time is supposed to be viewed as a sea.
The key to the story and its meaning is that there is a sea of outcomes that the reader doesn't grasp, to be perfect and memory and an unreliable narrator, how is that possible? Severian is a vehicle to represent the possibilities of time and the infinite, all are equally remember-able, but what is true is a matter of faith.
