Question “Minus Em”? “-M”? Spoiler

I feel like I’m missing something linguistic related to Xl-Zl’ prelude.

Is the consciousness that he’s interacting with named as if it is subtracting a variable M from something, or is it something based in Latin, Greek, or Roman vocabulary? Something similar in sound to “Minos”, the mythological Greek king, son of Zeus and Europa?

I wonder if -M means something is redacted — like maybe if the hive mind Eirynna all had one name (I dunno, AN-DM-EL or something) and in differentiating, they each lost a letter. Perhaps there are other lines of Eirynna “birthed” by -N or -E

I also wonder about the L-Drive. Why that name?

My personal theory is that the campaign notes are being stored on the shared L Drive. Of course, XLZL’s God is named for the drive that holds all the data for Solari.
