but that makes no difference, the point is why doesn't the knife sever Lyra and Pan (exept that that would make it an extremely short, 2 book trilogy)

the two small 'rooms' that Lyra and Pan are in are completely air tight and there is only one tube connecting the two of them. that means that all the bonds are directed down that tube. if something very sharp like the silver guillotine comes down in the middle of the tube then the bonds are severed because Lyra has no more connections with Pan.
did that make any sense?
