It's certainly one with a certain degree of plausibility.  However
remember that Paiton hated Typhon for what had been done to him.  The
stronger Piaton's influence the less I would expect "The Plan" to figure
in Pas' prorities.

Further there has been rebellion in Mainframe.  Other influences are
possible, perhaps even probable, but without clues we're left in the dark.
