* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: The conflict between an active life and a life devoted to abstract intellectual pursuits is one of the central themes of the novel.
* [[Artifact Title]]: The title game is an in-universe example of this trope. An early version of this game used a complex bead frame as the notational instrument, so this name stuck, even after the bead frame was replaced by a more practical handwritten notation.
