Not quite what I meant.
We know that Jjaro tech is durable, and the W'rkncacnter is a patient beast. Suppose that at 10,000 years +7 or whatever, after Durandal's return to Sol and even after the 'present day' of the final screen narrator, the Lh'owon W'rkncacnter was somehow released. The obvious question here is, why didn't it immediately escape when the Pfhor deployed the trih xeem at the end of M2? Perhaps in the original timeline it, like the dreaming god under a certain pyramid, took a while to wake up after being subjected to massive impacts and/or explosions.
There are a few scenarios for what happened after the W'rkncacnter finally reappeared. The simplest is probably to stick with the theory that the SO's timeline jumps in Infinity are caused by activation of his implanted Jjaro tech. In this model, the SO sends himself, consciously or otherwise, back to the interval between Tau Ceti 2794 and Lh'owon 2811 - the interval in spacetime where and when his journey first led to the W'rkncacnter, and (from his point of view) the shortest path to containing the beast permanently. His first try fails, he tries again and again. The rest is a tale of eaten paths, abused metaphors and tweaked slices of Pfhactory N'Utopia, rendered in glorious 2.5D with a 1023 polygon maximum.
I realize it's a contrivance, and probably not even an original one, but there it is.
