* It is of interest that the [[Music70|music70 website]] lists the track as "magic window fnord". Those familiar with "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" will recognize the reference. [Nick Potter] submitted the following observation: in the novel, "fnord" is a word that people in general have been trained not to see - instead, it merely induces a vague feeling of anxiety in the reader. The [[Music70|music70]] listing may therefore have a slightly deeper meaning than being a simple reference to the novel; it may be a jokey suggestion that the track is indeed present, but that we have simply been programmed not to hear it. | * It is of interest that the [[Music70|music70 website]] lists the track as "magic window fnord".

*It is also interesting to note the implications of people searching for signal in an empty track, that there can not, must not be a track without purpose- compare to House of Leaves, pp107-152. | *It is also interesting to note the implications of people searching for signal in an empty track, that there can not, must not be a track without purpose- compare to House of Leaves, pp107-152. | ||

* The Wham-O âMagic Windowâ toy was made between 1973 and 1979. Though the concept was simple, it could actually make very intricate patterns. In between two sheets of plastic, there were two or three different colors of sand-like material (âmicrodium crystalsâ) in different weights. Since the dark and light colors couldnât really mix, and slid around at the whim of gravity, the crystals would flow into various patterns as you moved the toy around. A creative plaything for children, âMagic Windowâ is also a sensory experience for adults, representing a medium of creative interpretation. Individual interpretation and impressions make these swirling patterns emerge as oceans, mountains, flowers and limitless other scenes and patterns.<ref>https://clickamericana.com/toys-and-games/magic-window-toy-memories-1973-1979</ref> | * The Wham-O âMagic Windowâ toy was made between 1973 and 1979.
