Accuracy record
Specified by the text
- Salvington is an architectural sphere, the first completed act of physical creation in Nebadon (32:2.3)
- It sits at the exact energy-mass center of the local universe; a large astronomic system exists at its physical center (32:2.4)
- Surrounded by ten university clusters of 49 spheres each (15:7.7): a circuit of seventy primary spheres in encircling planetary procession, each encircled by six tributary spheres, 490 in all, the Melchizedek University; pilot world Melchizedek (35:3.1-3.2)
- Architectural spheres such as Salvington are lighted, heated and energized independently of the suns of space (41:1.3)
- Built soon after Michael chose the disintegrating Andronover nebula for his universe (57:3.8)
Interpreted
- Seen from space so the procession of seventy primaries, each with six small companions, reads as a great orderly ring
- The large astronomic system at the physical center shown as a group of bright distant suns in the background
- Salvington itself glowing from within rather than lit by a star
Invented for the picture
- All surface detail, colours, the exact spacing of the circuit, the background star field
