* Trant's freelancing seems to have specifically brought him into contact with the most derangedly pretentious branches of the international art world. The art world is highly associated with espionage in our world, for reasons both practical (cultural tourism is a great cover story for spies) and conspiratorial (it is a commonly remarked upon talking point within the left that the CIA funded modern art during the Cold War, though it depends on your point of view on if this was a form of cultural incubation to improve the West's soft power, or whether it was to promote and eventually normalise an apolitical TrueArtIsIncomprehensible aesthetic in order to keep the proletariat from being exposed to meaningful, socially relevant art that makes them start asking too many questions).

** The Deserter mentions having met both Evrart and Edgar at the same time and even mentions that, unlike Evrart, Edgar actually understands Mazovian theory. Unreliable as the Desert may be, nothing gives a concrete reason why he would lie or be delusional about that.

[[WMG: The Pale is [[Literature/{{Discworld}} L-Space]]]]
The Mega-Rich Light Bending Guy confirms that value can be counted as energy (money is power, after all) for the purposes of space-time warping. One interpretation of the Pale is that it is formed from humanity's knowledge (something supported by how Pale exposure causes one to experience other people's memories). Per Discworld, knowledge=power=energy=mass (multiplied by the speed of light squared), which warps space-time, creating L-Space. The Pale is the result of this happening on a planetary scale, instead of a bookstore or library.

[[WMG: Harry's inner voices are ghosts.]]
* When he underwent prolonged exposure to the Pale, it didn't just create empty space in his mind, but a vaccuum. The various skill-sets - "Encyclopedia", "Esprit D'Corps", etc. - were once people who died as a result of Pale exposure, and whose minds (what was left of them) took residence in his empty head. This is why they prod and pull him in different directions and try to keep him from thinking about Dora - if the old Harry manifested, there would be no room for them.
** And/Or it's a result of his "Human Can Opener" method. He gets into people's minds ''so'' well that he gets pieces of them stuck inside his own...

[[WMG: Harry is on the verge of breaking the fourth wall.]]
* The sizzler text for "Jamais Vu (Derealization)" teases that it might be the most important Thought Harry completes, the one he *must* complete. When he does, the first part of the explanation text defines the term with Deja Vu as the context - "Never Seen" rather than "Seen Before". Is this a hint that Harry is on the cusp of realising that reality itself is not real, never has been?

** Gaston mentions having taught the brothers, and Easy Leo says he knew them from school. Leo doesn't seem like the type who can keep this sort of thing secret.
