Excerpts, once known as Candidates[1], are the operators of the Divines. While the Divines are sentient beings, they are still paired with humans when performing their tasks. The influence that the Excerpt has over the functioning of the Divine (and vice versa) varies between each Divine.
Though Excerpts and Candidates are both human components of Divines, they differ in their purpose. Candidates tend to fulfil more of a component roll - they are used by their Divines for additional processing, or for other purposes - while Excerpts have a greater role in determining which action the pair should take, and how resources should be allocated.
