!!The Green Disease is a conceptual mimic, and is not actually related to whatever the Parliament are trying to do.
* Instead, it is effectively the equivalent of a conceptual cuckoo bird, in that is altered everyone's perception into thinking that it is the disease they have been working on, or at least part of it, meanwhile being something entirely separate and, on the part of the carrier, is partially asymptomatic. The true parliamentary disease being the Blue Disease.

* Windifred is Hospital Staff, but not medical staff, which likely means that she is less susceptible to the Parliament's PerceptionFilter. She can see that Dr. Gynnie needs all the help she can get, and she can sense that Fern is genuinely trying to help. But since most of the staff isn't clearheaded enough tolerate the rules getting bent, she cannot accept Fern's help openly and is therefore playing dumb and leaving hints.

!!The Parliament and it's followers will be defeated by uploading information on what the Old Flesh really was.
* As long as the Parliament will try to reach it's goals, there won't be a cure-they're incompetent, but they won't let anyone get in their way. But if they knew that everything would be all for nothing-that the Old Flesh was the Concept of Death and that bringing it back will result in it splitting again-then they'd probably break, allowing Fern to work towards her son with one less threat.

!!Spleonard will be the key to getting rid of the Parliament's PerceptionFilter
* Jerry says that the Parliament probably made the Hospital unable to perceive them by messing with their ability to prioritize important information. Magdolene says that the Hospital has a priority algorithm to ensure they don't waste perception on someone who doesn't need it, like someone who just wants attention from a cute nurse. Spleonard fits that description ''perfectly''. He isn't a zero priority, but before he got drained, he was only the next step up, and Phage was intentionally filtering him out, which might make him the key to recalibrating and rebooting the Hospital.

!!Time exists, but is perceived proportionately, meaning that when you enter a zone, time is stretched so that it lives as long as you do. Layers are an attempt by the perceptoids to keep things from getting confusing.
* This is why Jay's journal has pages from dates 12 years ''after'' Fern arrived, and why so much time has passed from Maya and others perspectives only a few layers after Fern leaves. This troper doesn't have any specific numbers, but the idea is that if you're in a zone that represents something that would live on after you die of old age, time outside of it speeds up so that you will die of old age when it dies. If a human entered a zone of a concept that will last 10,000 more years with 43 years of their life left, one second there would cause a little under four minutes to pass in the grey zone, from their perspective.

!!Grey-zoners are not necessarily limited beings. Instead, they wield the potential to be incredibly powerful.
* The perception range runs off of what concepts are perceived, correct? Grey-zoners are incredibly resistant to any sort of PerceptionFilter, which would suggest a great deal of control over their own perceptions, conscious or otherwise. If a grey zoner pretends something exists, say, a weapon, or a mighty beast companion, or a powerful artifact, and they put on an act that convinces the other nearby perceptoids that the pretend thing is real, then it would become real, under this theory. Repeating a lie so much it becomes the truth is a thing that can happen much more literally in the range. [[TheMole Fleagood's]] certainly trying to do so.

* Someone was acting as Jay's AnonymousBenefactor, bringing him BackFromTheDead and not filling out the proper paperwork for it. Someone was also making their own edits to his journal. There is also the fact that Chip was originally a member of the Hospital in the first place before somehow getting relocated to the Cafe by the Parliament, and the only method we know of that could have moved him would be the Surgical Ward's Q-36 procedure.
