Kas starts talking to his alethiometer, leaving Aianon to tell stories to the harpies.
The problem's with the word 'world', he reports. Or - the concept. The alethiometer has a concept of 'world' and it's a lot like ours, but the set of worlds it knows about are all linked to Alethia. You could call them parts of Alethia, I guess. They're mostly the same way toward each other as, say, all the worlds that linked up to Downside before we got there, though. Some of them don't even have daemons.
