  Nice guess but no dice. The 111,394 that Noyes lived in existed in a
completely different reality than Gaia did. They  could not be the same
person (thing?).

  Isaac does seem to be tying all of his works together into a single unifed
story.  The next episode will probably take us to  Earth to find out what
has happened there since Pebble in the Sky. I expect that we will find out
that Noyes was behind sending Joseph Schwartz into the future (could he
have been sent to the new 111,394?). She arrived on earth 17 years before
he left and having viewed future realities could  have known that he was
crucial to developing a galactic empire.
