I think it only stands to reason that Severian would become a vanished
person if Blue is Ushas.  Remember in Apu Punchau's tomb when the Hierodules
explain to Severian that even though he was an eidolon, as he took in the
food and water and air of his environment it would be incorporated into his
body and make it real?  Severian would most certainly evolve with his
surroundings and whatever created the polyploidy in all the other creatures
would affect him as well.  The other Severian's are perhaps visitors from
the corridors of time.
