I'm rereading TLM and wondering about the graphic that's under each 'Part X' title. Has there been any discussion of this? If there has been I couldn't find it. 

There are two rows of metal/number symbols. Of course those could be random, just for decoration, but I find that hard to believe. Yet I cannot think of any meaningful interprtetation. 

In numbers it's:
14  1 3 11 13  
 5 16 9 15  6

The metals are:
nicrosil       iron           tin           gold     chromium
  zinc     duralumin cadmium aluminum  brass

Any thoughts?

Maybe they correspond to letters in the steel alphabet?

That sounded like a good idea! I had never heard of the steel alphabet, but found it on the coppermind. Sadly, the result is just as cryptic:
Y B I M W
L S G Z R
