So mech created man in his own image, in the image of gadget created he him; child and child created he them

The expression So mech created man in his own image, in the image of gadget created he him; child and child created he them recasts a creation formula in mechanical terms. Its decisive turn is from a mech making man in its own image to a closing image of children created as a pair, shifting the language from maker and made toward a less specified relation of descent.

Scriptural Form and Mechanical Agency

The sentence uses the repeated language of creation and image-making to give its account an elevated, scriptural cadence. Its opening assigns the act of creating to mech, while the next clause introduces gadget into the same chain of likeness. Creation is thus framed not as an exclusively human origin but as something expressed through mechanical and constructed terms.

The Paired Children

After the semicolon, “child and child created he them” changes the sentence’s emphasis. The earlier clauses establish a maker and an image; the ending presents two children without specifying how they relate to one another or to the preceding act of creation. That unresolved shift makes the expression more than a simple substitution of machine for creator: it leaves the form of the created lineage open even as its paired wording stresses multiplicity.
