- Deep time — the geological concept (coined in the modern sense by John McPhee, after James Hutton's 18th-century insight) for the vast scales on which the Earth changes. Contemplated religiously, deep time is the kalpa of Hindu and Buddhist cosmology — an aeon so long it functions as a figure for eternity.
- Companion to "Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan" (cosmological time) and "Age Of Capricorn" (astrological time) on the album's time-scale triad.
- Echoes the contemplative tradition of looking at stones and strata as a spiritual practice (Annie Dillard, Robert Macfarlane, the geological sublime).
