Aphex Twin Aliases

Just wondering about the aliases and their reasons. Here's what I've got so far, correct me if I'm wrong:

AFX (first alias, later used for alternative material for Rephlex during his signing with Warp. Also used for the Hangable Auto Bulb EP, probably because it wasn't the normal Aphex style at the time. Used for the Analord series possibly because the name "Aphex Twin" was signed with Warp. Mighty Force, Rabbit City, Rephlex, Warp)

Aphex Twin (main alias. Mighty Force (Analgoue Bubblebath EP, although this release was later changed to AFX), R&S, and Warp)

Bradley Strider (to launch his label. Rephlex)

Caustic Window (alternative material for Rephlex during his signing with R&S, also an outlet for more aggressive and hardcore tracks. Rephlex)

GAK (demos sent to Warp. Warp)

Mike & Rich (with Mike Paradinas. Rephlex)

Polygon Window (alternative alias for Warp during his signing with R&S, or possibly to see what Warp was like so he can be sure he wants to use his main alias on their label. Warp)

Power-Pill (remixes on the musical themes of Pac-Man. Ffrreedom)

Universal Indicator (with Mike Dred and other unnamed friends. Rephlex.)

Well done, you receive an A+ in AFX class today

Don't know if it's an actual alias, but TAN-109 is used for his collaboration and such on artwork, someone put the Universal Indicator Green under this alias before.

and Richard D. James... I didn't see that one!

TAN-109 was also credited for doing design work as well, but this can be explained by the fact that Richard has co-designed several of his albums (SAW II with Paul, and Drukqs with Manuel Sepulveda), in which Richard does the photography.

Also Diceman should be shown as 'The Dice Man', as that is how it was listed, Diceman is another artist all together.

Metapharstic could be considered an alias according to this:

mighty force was the record label not an alias

moniker from universal indicator red & green

what book was that in the screenshot that mentioned ''metapharstic'' being his name?

Aphex Twin SIRE Press release

so where did the info come from for him being called Phonic Boy On Dope? i'd never read whatever it was.

i know the Philosophy of Sound and Machine CD liner notes have listed Q-Chastic's "CAT002" as being written by PBoD, and the notes for Artificial Intelligence have him referring to a Phonic Bod which is obviously him, but i've never heard the whole story of Phonic Boy On Dope.

Tom Middleton's first record as Schizophrenia refers to Aphex as the "Phonic Boy" etched in the runout.

It was his DJ name from before '90, Mix Master Morris refers to it in the radio Breezeblock show "We Love Aphex Twin" broadcast on 12-06-2005 about 36 minutes in
