The concept of a transapient which is (apparently) obedient to entities that are much less sophisticated is difficult to grok, and I've always been in two minds about it. On one hand the toposophic landscape is probably weird enough for such entities to exist, and it is certain that they would be very useful tools indeed; a genie in a bottle that has remarkable magic powers.
On the other hand an 'obedient' transapient might only be pretending to be obedient, while simultaneously affecting its modosophont masters in subtle ways so that they act according to its own wishes. The memetic powers of a transapient - even a 'slaved' transapient - could be very great.
