More to the point, the Mainframe gods can affect the vision centers 
only through the eyes -- Pig, without eyes, cannot upload his Silk to
Mainframe. Mucor, walking about as a loose soul/spirit, can appear 
directly to Pig, probably to his soul/spirit (though I suppose a case
could be made that she is "stimulating his vision centers"). At any
rate, the manner in which she appears to Pig is clearly of a different
order from the way in which Mainframe gods manifest.
