#yeah that sort of thing doesnt fit what I have planned for Lb7

I don’t remember the invisible thing affecting the plot a lot. They just give Daybit random abilities because it looks super cool. His ability to summon Foreigners? It was Daybit being a literal radio tower for aliens from the corners of the universe. They never explained how, but Daybit can also just see the shape of the universe with his mind. And you know what, I actually like that they give him all this obviously alien trait, and yet have his guiding philosophy as “Humans fundamentally do good, so I’ll try to do good in honor of the human that I replaced.” even if he approach this “I do good” also from an alien perspective. It’s on track with LB7 theme of human infectiousness.

I keep saying he's a character of all time, and that's cause i'm explicitly avoiding calling him "bad." For all the reasons you said, he IS interesting and unique in a good way. Whether the story uses him right is a whole other matter, or whether he even fits the story, but as a character, Daybit's pretty cool.
