I still say if you had to ascribe Lambda to a vessel o sorts (which isn't really necessary, as she and Bern are even more abstract sorts of beings than the rest of the Meta cast), that if Bern = the readership, particularly internet trolls, then Lambda = the R-Prime editor willing to publish Tohya's work.

They offer him the chance to reach the readership ("giving Beatrice her status as a witch")
They SHOULD be both knowledgeable about the mystery genre, and at least enough in the know regarding Tohya's intended solutions to decide it's worth the investment ("Lambda can see the underside of Beato's game, and knows it's workings")

Tis a thought, anyway.
