...established that. Where is he? That is, the ficitional character of Vivec has transcended his prison of fiction, where in our physical universe does he stand? Is he like the enantiomorph exisiting solely in Mikhael Karkuxor's head?

(I'm probably wrong, but I suspect that Micheal Kirkbride wrote "Varieties of Faith" and the author is named Mikhael Karkuxor, MK?)

So am I taking this CHIM thing all wrong? Or is my interpretation at least founded on some of the principles?

Kark-Uxor. 'Uxor' is 'bride' in Latin. So, yes, it seems likely that 'Mikhael Karkuxor' is Michael Kirkbride.

Vivec lives in the mind of everyone who has ever played Morrowind. There's not anything particularly unique about that, though. Go read some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Strange_Loop.

MUST GET VIVEC OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!
