But maybe the cause of invisibility in the no-chambers and no-ships is the prescient variable in the Ixian Machines? That would tie everything together nicely, wouldn't it?
Bullseye, i had this thought before and forgot about it, masterful insight.

Leto could see navigators, paul couldnt.
Paul could
initially he quite clearly desribes being able to see them in dune, the first person in a long time to see them. I've said before that i think this may be a frank inconsistency, since his opinions and ideas changed as he carried on writing (prescience is more interesting when it isnt absolute, and can be hidden from...in DM, the rules of prescience were changed to include other prescients...., and their spheres of influence etc).
But paul definately saw them in dune.

Loremaster, how could Leto see Teg in any vision if the Siona gene was the Permanent solution to prescience? It would seem that Leto defeated that perfect solution before it even started. I don't see how anything could be infered by Leto either, with all the no-people running around.
I do think that Teg could penetrate the no-gene. There is no way he could know where to meet up with the worm on Rakis if he couldn't. Remember, Teg couldn't see the future like Paul or Leto, he was limited to a few moments ahead, and as I recall, he chose to die, so his actions were perfectly valid in every situation. Leto’s goal was to get humanity past a single threat, so even if a prescient came along that could influence a local population, humanity as a whole was still way beyond his/her control.
I didnt say leto could see teg, i dont think he could. i dont think ANYONE could see sion-etians.
The HLP hasnt released Frank's notes yet, Brian hasn't got the handwriting quite right!
