Thanks for bringing this up, this gives me some food for thought with regard
to the "down is up" thing I am on about lately.

E.g. Typhon throws Severian into the sled, they plummet downwards, then
arrive at the very top of Typon's mountain fastness, and Severian asks
Typhon how they could have come up so high, when they had just fallen so
