I'm curious what anyone else has come up with running down what the inspiration for Arduin's Phraint might have been. ( The Deodanth is straight up the Deodand from Vance's ' Dying Earth ' for example )
The only direct statement of inspiration I know is in The Arduin Grimoire: Vol I:
They are cold, emotionless, logical, a veritable bug “Mr. Spock.”
The idea of insect men from space is now common enough to seem almost generic, but I think the timing, the similarity in names, and the description of blue colors points to the Thranx in Alan Dean Foster’s Commonwealth series as a possible inspiration for their appearance.  I believe the Thranx appeared in Foster’s first novel The Tar-Aiym Krang in 1972, five years before Arduin’s publication in 1977.

Aspis -- insects capable of wielding 2 weapons and 2 shields at once
Colours for the Siberian (Semirechensk) Cossacks of the Tsar's Composite Cossack Guard Regiment ( Can't attach a picture , but, it's a death's head on red and white. Just like the top part of the guys hat. So it's probably that. Tsarist. )
Interesting. Â I'm gonna have to research it when I get home from work. Thanks for the referrence.

' About Time ' Lee Smolin ( he's taking the opposite tack however, that time is - not - an emergent property, that it has a basic physical reality. )

bakudreamer replied to your post “yes! I meant time as an emergent property, I am so tired right now sorry! and itsokay! I'm still looking at the Everett interpretation, entanglement, string theory, the photon clock experiment, multiverses, and some other topics that I forgot about :/ I'm really interested in what it means for us on a philosophical level as well as on an intellectual level! Thank you so much xx”
What was the question ?
Read the previous ask (right below this one) The anon wanted information on topics that relate to time an an emergent property of the universe so that they can do further research on it.
