I was just looking through "The Great Beyond" and was reading about the axiomites and how they can temporarily combine to form the Axiomite Godmind - basically a supercomputer made of axiomites. This made me think of the anacites of Aballon and how they have the philosophy of Singularitism: the belief that connecting all lifeforms and technology will bring about a godlike Godhead. Anyways, I was just curious about whether the similarities are coincidental (they both seem like they could be nods to the Technocore's Ulitimate Intelligence in the Hyperion series) or maybe if there's some kind of connection. Anyone have any opinions or speculation on the matter?
I'm not sure if the anacites of Aballon had any inspiration taken from the axiomite Godmind, though I suppose it's possible.
I've not however read Hyperion.

Hey, thanks for the response! I'm really looking forward to Planar Adventures, by the way.
I just finished reading Fall of Hyperion, and also noticed that it was in the "inspiring reading" appendix of the PF core rulebook, so I guess that's probably why I was wondering if it might have been a source of inspiration.
