* The name "Newton" does not appear in {{cs|Newtons Sleep (novel)}} besides in the titular quote from [[William Blake]]. Throughout the book he is instead referred to as "Jeova Unus Sanctus", which the real-world Newton used as an alias in his [[alchemy|alchemical]] writings. It is a [[Latin (language)|Latin]] term which translates to "One True God", and it is an anagram of Newton's Latin name, "Isaacus Neuutonus". | |||
