In the original version of The Mirror of Simple Annihilated Souls (1) each of the main text pages had a Flash animation in the far left column.  Here, I have reproduced a screen shot of one moment of the animation for The Mirror of Alteration. The Flash graphic was designed to suggest associations and connections with the controlling idea of that theme.  Also, names of one or more of the Threaded Voices appear on the screen in the course of the animation.  In this Flash animation, you would have seen a transparent graphic of a section of the bank of computer controls from the original UNIVAC Computer layered on top of a moving mirror.  The UNIVAC controls are rendered in shades of greys, beiges, and whites; the mirror moving behind is in beige, gold, and white.  The old computer controls and the shifting mirror evoke the sense of alteration.  The UNIVAC echoes the universe graphic from The Mirror of Permanence.  Identification is in brick red.
