The picture of the universal tree reminded me of Mary's tree in The Subtle Spyglass. That is exactly how I pictured it, but from the perspective of the Mulafa's. From here she could see everything she needed to see to save the trees and save Dust. It was a universal point of observation and when it was no longer needed to help save Dust, it passed on becoming Dust in itself. Its arms stretch out mirroring the currents of Dust spreading out over the world and the many universes that touch it.
