On the Outside God page, I came to a similar conclusion. Then I saw this discussion. Axis have an "awakening". Maybe SIU isn't an Axis, but the force that gives them their power. Phantaminum is a character from another one of SIU's stories.

A quote from Arlene's diary says "Someday that God's power will enter this dead child's body and awaken him again". What if SIU is the Outside God and Bam is the Axis, and we are watching the process one goes through to become one. In each of his stories, SIU is the spark that awakens the Axis.
