The protagonist of Christine Brooke-Rose’s experimental 1966 novel Such is
generally interpreted as an astrophysicist having a mental health episode in
which he thinks he is a cosmic event. This far in the future, in the universe’s
second half, I think it not impossible that he is a cosmic event hallucinating

This is a narrative written by the little Gallifreyan boy the Doctor meets
in Hell Bent, in adult life.
Discrepancies between this account of the Time Lords and the one I have traced
in this chronology can be ascribed to the fact that its author is a historian,
however diligent, writing from what is as far as we know near the end of the Chronarchy’s
two million year history from the sources available to him, which do not
include sources available to me.
