If octave is a proper noun, then the book has a mistake since it should have read Octave. However, oz should also have been capitalized if the man of oz is referring to the land of Oz (Frank Baum might be the man). I think that neither octave nor oz are accidents, but Preiss has playfully put the small letter o in both places since it is a circle – capital O is more of an ellipse. The small circular letter o’s are verse connectors to the small circles in painting/image 7, on the hands are what look like bicycle wheels (a tribute to the Wright brothers). So, verse 11 matches with painting 7. There is at least one other verse to painting connector; the “after circle and square” in verse 11 matches with the grandfather clock’s circle and square face.
