As I understand it, there's an endless succession of our Briahtic
universes, and Yesod is the hyper-space - and hyper-time - within
which that succession takes place.

Severian's last glimpse of our universe is "a circle no larger than an
ebon moon in the sky of Yesod." That's Yesod the planet, whose outer
atmosphere he has already entered.
