Ein Autor diktiert einem Mann ein Werk. Dabei denkt er "In diesen Momenten sah ich ihn als hochgesteigertes Pseudonym, eine Pipeline meiner Worte"
Bedeutet hochgesteigert "extrem"? Aber passt es zu Pseudonym???
Vielen Dank im voraus fuer die Erklaerung beide auf deutsch oder englisch!

franglish
: I rather like 'An enhanced extension of myself', though 'An enhanced pseudonym' is would be more accurate if you keep to the 'pipeline for my words'.

exalted alter ego
Compare:
"It’s tempting, of course, to think of Jimmy as the late author’s own exalted alter ego, especially now that Osborne’s posthumous persona is so inextricably linked with the more acerbic broadsides of his best-known creation" http://variety.com/1999/legit/reviews/look-back-in-anger-4-1...

a ghostwriter in the flesh/an intensified alias/pseudonym
Just couldn't resist. The pseudonym - another name for the creating person - is a shadow or cloak for a writer to 'hide' behind. A ghostwrite is a non-entity, ergo "in the flesh."

Discussion
I guess that "hochsteigern" is meant in the sense of "raise to the power of", i.e. this is about mathematics - the man who takes the dictation is not a simple pseudonym but more - maybe a kind of "squared pseudonym"?
