Subject: (urth) Why does Ushas need the White Fountain?

Ok, all this discussion of the black hole/white fountain has made me
realize that, although I thought I understood, I still don't get it.

Urth's sun is dying for some reason.  Severian goes to get a White
Fountain, but brings it back to a different universe, to Ushas, whose sun
is, as far as I know, doing just fine.  How does this action help either
Urth or Ushas?

I imagine I'm missing something obvious that re-reading Urth or the
archives might answer, but would someone mind explaining it one more time?
