SEED: self-organizing genetic potential. A spark of life in the endless void.
IDEALIS: as the Seed is able to change shape/form at will, the Wranaui consider it the Platonic “ideal” of physical embodiment.
NSARRO: [...] (See also Cycle and Pulse.)
This is just sloppy indexing. Manyform should, in addition to a brief description, have "See Also: Seed, Idealis" at the end. Then Idealis should have a See Also reference for Manyform and Idealis, and Idealis should have a See Also reference for Manyform and Seed.
Mind you, I spent most of yesterday standardising and tidying my library catalogue Authority Files, which act very much like an index: If you have an author authority for "Tolkien, J.R.R.", it's terribly poor form to also have an author entry for "Tolkien, John" and "Tolkien, JRR" without cross-referencing them correctly so items can be discovered in the catalogue.
This index is very sloppy, and shows a lack of both care, of understanding of either the purpose or process of indexing.
