The Infinity Jukebox
Good luck finding 'Nevermind' on the web, nowadays - there is a certain album from the 90's getting in the way. But when you look for 'no mind', it turns out that is a Buddhist concept about mindfulness and the ideal concept of self. Jack Flanders is a 'no mind' hero - there is a point in one of his adventures where he actually studies a spiritual technique and tries it out - and is immediately boxed in. But then his usual fingertip-light touch is restored, and he skips out of the trap.
After you use all the information on the wheel of apposition page to get you through the presented cipher, you get to the infinity jukebox. And all you have to do to release the lock is click on the keyhole.
One more point about the Incredible Adventures - Jack keeps getting into trouble by standing next to posters of the Black Mona Lisa - the notorious pirate in the Velvet realms - and having a mustache appear on her poster, and a marker appear in his hands! When the poster is signed 'Jack Flanders', his companions ask what his name is - and, quick as boiled asparagus, he comes up with - Marcel Duchamp! Proving that Jack is so painfully honest, he can't lie well even when absolutely necessary.
After the lock is sprung, the four buttons on the infinity jukebox are now available. The Tibetan (?) symbols are odd - the first one looks like the "om" in the 'om mani padme hum' mantra (except for the dot on the right), but I haven't placed the other three symbols yet. Don't seem to be in the Tibetan unicode pages, and I haven't seen many mantras online besides the famous one.
Maybe by the time we get through the 4 buttons they will turn up. If anybody has any ideas ...
