Multiple-persona wizard whom Nita meets while working on kernel-detection routines in the aschetic "practice universes". Pont looks like five blue-metal ballbearings of various sizes, from soccer-ball to beach-ball. Pont speaks exclusively in plurals. In the Speech, "Pont" is one of the adjectival forms of the word for the number five, so this isn't actually his name, but a nickname or a more casual descriptive used for the benefit of "singletons". Nita tries to pronounce Pont's real name, but can't manage to get the tones exactly right: the Transcendent Pig mentions to her in passing that it too has trouble handling "the music of the spheres". (TWD)
