Miscellaneous
*
Dynamic symmetry is a natural design methodology, and mathematical proportioning system, based on natural growth patterns found in plants.
* In a segment of "The Internal Locus," at one point the percussion track of the entire song is compressed into four bars. This can be heard at the 4:31 mark and lasts until 4:45.
* 1.618 is the value of theGolden ratio rounded to the nearest thousandth. This is the second time BT has titled a song after a mathematical term or sequence. The first time was "Fibonacci Sequence ". The video shows off examples of the golden ratio in nature and mechanisms.
* Both the Golden ratio and the Fibonacci Sequence are related to Dynamic symmetry.
* The image shown on the album cover uses the Golden ratio to define its dimensions.
* Throughout the CD's booklet, the images for each track show (in order) the construction of aGolden rectangle .
* TheAntikythera Mechanism refers to the remains of an ancient analog mechanical computer, believed to be anorrery which was found in a wreck near the Greek island of Antikythera.
* In early printings the outer sleeve and parts of the booklet incorrectly refer to Track 6 as "The Anhtkythera Mechanism." In the credits within the booklet, and on the DVD program itself, it is correctly spelled as TheAntikythera Mechanism . This typo has since been corrected.
* Kaia is the name of Transeau's daughter, and the video of the seventh song is completely dedicated to her. Transeau has also stated that Kaia was sitting in his lap throughout most of the production on the album and that the album also serves as a series of lullabies for his daughter.
* The album is dedicated in loving memory of his dog Tootsie, a long time companion of Transeau.ources
