At least, it visually resembles the quantum computers which this troper has often seen in videos and photographs, and it could be argued that quantum computers only work at all thanks to the influence of Dust.

What really happened - and it's clearly visible in subtext - is that even as Lyra and Will's story is drawing to its climax, and they are reclaiming their Daemons, the Republic of Heaven is kicking the shit out of the Kingdom in a multiversal battle. Yes, Lyra and Will then kill the Authority - who had no effect on the battle, and was going to die sooner or later anyway. Asriel and Coulter assassinate Metatron, effectively assassinating the leaders of both sides - but it is logical to conclude that Republic would likely recover easier from the loss due to its more split command tree. The Republic's forces then defeat the Kingdom's, which I believe would suffer [[RealityEnsues realistic effects]] from being a DecapitatedArmy, based on the tone of the book so far - they wouldn't immediately give up or break, but the lack of leadership would take its toll in confusion, especially for troops trained not to think for themselves, as the Authority's would be.

Responding to a headscratcher with a possible theory
Added DiffLines:
* It's been several months since I last read the books, so maybe I'm forgetting some detail that would be an issue for this theory; but one way of looking at it is that opening up the world of the dead was basically the single greatest consciousness/Dust affirming act ever (or at least in the top three :) ). The reason the outflow of Dust didn't stop as soon as Lyra and Will did it is because they had not "officially" come of age yet. Once they did, in that moment, they became receptive to Dust in the way that adults are, and because of their actions, they suddenly became the strongest attractors/creators of Dust in the multiverse. In short, Will and Lyra's love was not inherently special; it was just the unlocking of the floodgates that were holding back the creation/attraction of all that Dust due to their freeing of the world of the dead.
