I always took it for granted that the four would become the quadrumvirate of
the prediction who, having improved themselves by merging with their past
selves, would take power and overthrow the forces of Big Government who had
destroyed Free's house, killed Free and set out to crush the dreams of the
four.  As you say, it can hardly be a coincidence that Madame Serpentina uses
the same word both times; and the book as a whole seems to lead up to this
conclusion.
