"All the uncounted stellar universes might be separate facets of one transcendental existence." (p. 62)
And some universes might not be "stellar"?
A Flatlander sees a single square which is just one cross-section of a cube whereas a Solidlander perceives the entire cube without dividing it into individual cross-sections. From a distance, light might be seen as reflected from a single facet of a jewel whereas, on closer approach, the entire jewel becomes visible.
On our Earth, Holger fights the Nazis; in the Carolingian universe, the Middle World. So is there a point of view from which the Nazis and the Middle World are not individuated because they have merged into a single transcendental existence like cross-sections into a cube or facets into a diamond?

Kaor, Paul!
I think it would be simpler to say there are probably timelines where either the Nazis or Middle Worlders temporarily won the struggle between Law and Chaos. Or where the USSR triumphed (as we see in "The High Ones" and "The Pugilist").
Ad astra! Sean
