Long Answer

1. Kahani is the name of the moon that Haroun travels to in order to reconnect his father to the Sea of Stories. The revelation that his own city is really called Kahani implies that the same struggles that take place during his dream adventure on this moon are taking place in the “reality” of his own city, where people have also been struggling to reconnect to identity, meaning, and happiness. (Various chapters)

2. “P2C2E” is a Process Too Complicated to Explain. Although in the story it is introduced as the way that the moon of Kahani orbits the earth, it functions as a shorthand for various complex processes such as the way stories accomplish their purposes. (Various chapters)
